A .adm or a policy to turn on a screen saver

[smlull]

Greetings. I'm moving from ZFD3.2 to ZFD4. and I'm having a terrible time with wanting to push a policy (reg hack) to turn on a screen saver at all the desktops. It's for WIndows 9x, NT, 2000 and XP. I've looked through (I think) all the .adm files and even looked at some old ones, but I can't seem to turn on a screen saver from Zen. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Scott

We are in a NW6, Zfd3.2, Win2k environment, and needed to do the same thing. There are a couple of ways to go about this.

1.) Create a user policy package. You will find the Screensaver settings on the Desktop Preferences tab. Select Settings from the tab, then open Display, and finally click on the Screensaver tab. Set as desired.

2.) Create an Application object that pushes the screensaver options you desire. You can find the screensaver options in the registry. HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop key. It would probably be best to either snapshot the change you want to make, or at least export the aforementioned registry key on a properly configured workstation.

Hope this helps,
Dave
