Hello,

Would somebody know if it is possible to change the screen saver delay
from a batch file?
(or even from the Windows command line or from Excel VBA)


Thanks for any hint!

Hi Pascal,

Doesn't appear to be any options for that:

VBScript:

Set ws=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ws.Run "rundll32.exe Shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl ,1",1
while not ws.AppActivate("Display properties")
wscript.sleep 100
wend
ws.SendKeys "%w"
ws.SendKeys "12" '' minutes
ws.SendKeys "~"

Good Luck, Ayush.
