Screen Saver on XP Embedded

[Don]

I need to change the screensaver settings on 500 thin terminals running
windows xp embedded. I am attempting to do this via a login script
which imports the following registry keys:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control
Panel\Desktop]

"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="1"
"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="300"
"ScreenSaveActive"="1"
"SCRNSAVE.EXE"="C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\logon.scr"

The import is successful, but the screen saver doesn't work unless you
do one of the following:

1. from the display applet in the control panel, goto the screensaver
tab. The settings are grayed out, but they are correct so i know the
import was successful. If i click cancel, it still won't work, if I
click OK without changing anything, it will start working.

2. Log off and log back on and it will start working. Once the
terminal is rebooted, it's back to the beginning as all changes are
wiped out on reboot.

I need to know if anyone is aware of a way to refresh the screensaver
settings from a script after the reg keys are imported.

Thanks...
