I have been editing HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Desktop
settings to try and make the screen saver I have chosen, Marquee, and
the
monitor power down settings take effect. Whatever values I put in the
ScreenSaveActive and PowerOffActive values are ignored. I have a lab of
hundreds of PCs all running Windows XP Pro + SP2 + fully patched and
none of
them ever load the screensaver or power down unless a user is logged
in. If
logged in everything works fine, but most of the time these PCs are not
in
use and it's wasting a lot of electricity by keeping the monitors
active.
I have novell client and the computers autologin to Active Directory.
The student logs in as themselves into Novell. Like I said before, when
logged in, screen saver works. When logged out, doesn't activate.
Please assist.
