I manage about 400 people for State gov and I wish to use the
photoscreensaver.scr as the default screensaver. The only problem with that
is that if there are no pictures in the \pictures folder .. the screen saver
kicks in with a 'no pictures found' ..

Is there a command line parameter I can pass that will tell the
photoscreensaver to look in the users\pictures\samples pictures folder ??

Thanks

You may create a .REG file with the following contents, and run it as a logon script.

- - -
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Photo Gallery\Slideshow\Screensaver]
"FolderPath"="C:\\Users\\Public\\Pictures\\Sample Pictures"

- - -

Alternately, you may use the REG.EXE command-line tool.
