Hi all<br>
<br>
Thanks for all the help you guys, here's another tricky one.<br>
<br>
I have a mix of windows nt wkst and win 95. Id like all users to use the company screensaver.<br>
<br>
I ammended c:\winnt\inf\common.adm to include the following:<br>
<br>
SCRNSAVE.EXE, ScreenSaveActive, ScreenIsSecure, ScreenSaveTimeOut.<br>
<br>
I then set the values, SCRNSAVE.EXE =&quot;myscreensaversname&quot;, ScreenSaveTimeOut = 300 and the rest to 1 in policy editor and placed the NTCONFIG.POL file in \winnt\system32\repl\import\scripts on the server (BDC). <br>
<br>
Unfortunately, it didnt work. On my pc, it works perfectly, as the values I used above were picked out of my registry. On some nt pc's it sets the screensaver up but doesnt set it to secure. Any ideas ? If anyone knows how to get this done on 95 as well, it would be greatly appreciated :)<br>
