I am trying to setup winexit.scr so users are automatically logged out. Everything is working fine except I can't seem to have it read from the registry...it keeps wanting to load it's default settings. When I right click on it and configure it the settings stick but do not update anywhere in the registry. The keys I am editing are :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Screen Saver.Logoff\Countdowntimer

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Screen Saver.Logoff\DialogMessage

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Screen Saver.Logoff\ForceLogoff


does this screen saver save it's settings somewhere else other than the registry like most articles are telling me?

Thanks
 
Copy this into a file named control.ini (empty by default) in c:\winnt or c:\windows.

[Screen Saver.Logoff]
ForceLogoff=1
CountDownTimer=30
DialogMessage=Logoff time has been reached. You are being logged out!!!
 
Ahh it's in an .ini file! Every webpage I have found says do it in the registry. Thank you for your help!
