Non-Admin User can' change screen saver - help

[Guest]

I have several WinXP PCs and on some of them the User logon cannot click on
the system tray clock/calendar, and/or cannot change the screen saver power
(turn monitor off after _____) settings. I don't know where to look to change
these permissions. I've tried someone's suggested Registry tweak, but that
didn't change anything. I've looked thru the the Admin Tools - User Rights,
but I don't see anything that would have anything to do with the above.

Are you using Group Policies? They are most likely your simplest solution.

Limited accounts cannot change these settings. Easiest to set these up
with admin priv and then switch to limited.
