Screen Saver Timeout Registry Setting?

S

Scott Townsend

I've set up a Terminal Server with a Screen saver timeout that is too small
for some users. Though I've removed the ability for them to get to the
display properties. I don't have too many to change, is there a registry
setting that I can access to change the timeout?

Thanks,
Scott<-

Take a look at;

"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="180"
(time in seconds before activation)
found at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Great thanks!

I created a .reg file for them to import, but apparently I blocked them from
doing that too.

Short of going into each of the hived for the different user SIDs, is there
a way I can set it for the different users I want?

Thanks again!
