Screen Saver not always topmost

I have built a screen saver by referencing the Microsoft article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/818359. I have set TopMost: True however,
I've noticed that when other applications launch while the screen saver is
active (such as an Automatic Update Reboot prompt), this takes over the
TopMost setting which then displays the taskbar and window. Is there a way to
keep the TopMost level until the screen saver is not active?
