chiners_68 Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 right, at Cmdlines.txt I have modified the reg key[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"Wallpaper"="C:\\WINDOWS\\EBC2001.BMP" to set the default background for all users but for some reason the key below will not set my default screen saver. what key will set the default screensaver for the default profile?[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"SCRNSAVE.EXE"="C:\\WINDOWS\\EBCSTA~1.SCR"I know I can do it via themes but I dont want to do it this way. Remember what ever key is to be set to do this needs to run at Cmdlines.txt
chiners_68 Posted January 29, 2006 Author Posted January 29, 2006 don't b shy now. some one must know & set this before.
Angelico_Payne Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 Acctualy me having same problem, but I gave up husslin about with itYou mentioned I could do this with theme, well how, I want to disable it via theme file, and I put screensaver to disabled, and it is enabled after I install theme > help
Andromeda43 Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 I'd just as soon have a virus on my PC as a stupid screen saver running. It's just one more P.O.C. running in the background sucking up resources. Anyone with good sence would just totally disable those things and remove the .scr files from the HD.No more problems.

BoardBabe Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 You cannot set this key before user has logged in once and userprofile is completly loaded for the first time. (Start-menu and all is loaded).Therefore you need to run this reg after your setup is all completed and has rebooted and idling on desktop.One method would be to copy a self-deleting batch file to Startup folder at the end of UA installation that applies the reg and reboots one final time (reboot is needed for the reg changes to apply)
chiners_68 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 I have several reg keys changing at t-12 mins for the HKCU which sets these for the default user profile. why not this one?

Andromeda43 Can do it on my comp (not such a bad idea, no .scr - nothing to be enabled ** smart one) but cannot do it on system builts, that go to home users :-< anyone knows theme file command to disable it
BoardBabe Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 chiners_68: As I said this particular reg tweak needs to be ran after the loggen on user profile has loaded. Probably because the regkey is written to the registry at that point. Feel free to doubt it, but that's how it is
