ChristopheM ChristopheM Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-05-13 Posts: 311 Loc: STRASBOURG, France	don't try with kix or an other scripting language to write in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Policies. this is write-protected because why design, it is reserved for policies (poledit+ntconfig.pol on NT4, GPO on Windows 2000) _________________________ Christophe

So, it looks like I won't be able to do what I want via a script unless all my users have admin rights, which isn't going to happen. Oddly, I have noticed that the Screen Saver tab has disappeared for some of my users (who don't have admin rights), so I'm still a bit mystified. Will investigate POLEDIT to see if if fits the bill.

The script needs admin right if the script want to wrtie to the Policies subkey. Solutions are: 1) LPO, GPO or POLEDIT 2) Admin script making remote registry changes, e.g. code: $comps=NetView2() for each $comp in $comps $rc=WRITEVALUE('\\'+$comp+'\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System','NoDispScrSavPage','1','REG_DWORD') next _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
