;Set wallpaper, screensaver, etc. properties
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"PowerOffActive"="0"
"PowerOffTimeOut"="0"
"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0"
"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="1000"
"ScreenSaveActive"="0"
"TileWallpaper"="0"
"Wallpaper"=""
"WallpaperStyle"="0"
"OriginalWallpaper"=""
"WheelScrollLines"="3"
"Pattern Upgrade"="TRUE"
"PrevWallpaper"=""
"PrevTileWallpaper"="0"

Look at the one's starting with screensave*

k.. tried them... but it won't work!

screensaver is still active.

First I used this reg key's:

;Disable ScreenSaver
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaveActive"=dword:00000000
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\Control Panel\Desktop\SCRNSAVE.EXE]

This didn't work, so I tried your reg key's:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"PowerOffActive"="0"
"PowerOffTimeOut"="0"
"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0"
"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="1000"
"ScreenSaveActive"="0"

but that doesn't work either....

Am I doing anything wrong?

I used RegShot and came up with this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaveActive"="0"
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\SCRNSAVE.EXE]

Extract file LUNA.TH_ from your I386 folder and open this file with notepad (LUNA.THE)

Change...

ScreenSaveActive = 1

to

ScreenSaveActive = 0

------------------------------------

You can use the above registry entries to make sure it is disable

;This disables the screensaver

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