W2K screensaver challenge...

[growhow]

Hi all,

I have been charged with the task of changing\enabling\configuring screensavers in W2k workstations without the use of; a. policies or b. display properties page. I have looked through the registry and found various references to screensavers but changing them doesn't seem to have an affect in W2K. Does anyone know if there is a ini or config file used for this? or indeed any way of doing this?

Many thanks in advance.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"ScreenSaveActive"="1"

Enable ScreenSaver ( 1 -> yes / 0 -> no )

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0"

Ask for Password when leaving screensaver ( 1 -> yes / 0 -> no )

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="900"

Time before launching screensaver in seconds ( 900 / 60 -> 15 minutes )

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"SCRNSAVE.EXE"="C:\\WINNT\\system32\\ssbezier.scr"

Path to ScreenSaver to launch

Hope this helps.

It might be necessary to log-off/log-on for the changes to take effect.
