jbm Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I guess you want to do it unattended.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"SCRNSAVE.EXE"=hex(2):00,00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbeau Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Just because I read you question a little differently. You can set the power management to presentation mode, which will keep the display "Always On" with the following reg keythis line is from a config script that I use in my buildoshell.regwrite "HKCU\Control Panel\PowerCfg\CurrentPowerPolicy", "2", "REG_SZ" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So after 5 minutes of inactivitiy, the screen will go into powersaving mode. Can you provide me the registry tweak for that? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iTwins Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 bump!haha, sgt, you have such bad luck! You have quite a number of things that don't work for you only but work for others.Try this:1) run GPEDIT.MSC2) Browse to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Display3) Set "Screen Saver" to "Disabled"4) Exit GPEDIT.MSCYour screensaver should now be greyed out, therefore disabled.If LGPO (Local Group Policy Objects) don't work for you either, then IT REALLY IS YOUR PROBLEM!Switch to Mac....
