Jens,
Would rebooting or logging off and logging back on duplicate the effect of the UpdateUserParameters() UDF? I've rebooted the system in an attempt to apply the settings in hope that was the issue but to no avail.

NTDOC,

I'll try the debug statements. I had a ?@serror after every function and everything was coming back successfull, but maybe I've missed somethng. The registry value is certainly being update correctly, that is where the confusion comes in. Everything looks perfect in the registry as per the instructions I have found, it is just the the screensaver is saying 'none'. The reason we aren't doing this via the server is for a couple reasons; We are considering doing an update to 2003 and my boss wanted to wait until 2003 was here so we could start from the ground up and do things right. We also needed a quick fix for it (it seems like the quick fix is turning into a drawn out fix). I am the only one here doing any of these types of changes too, and I am having to learn as I go. Not everything is set up the way it should have been from the start and have little support to make changes to server aspects, so I have to do it from the user end. I do however need to learn about making custom policies, it's something I not ALL the familiar with right now. As far as the screensavers and wallpapers are concerned, we use VNC to remote to the machines and VNC doesn't always remove the wallapapers that are on the remote machines like it should, and it is a real pain to try to navigate a machine via VNC with it trying to contantly refresh the wallpaper. The screensavers are just for conformity and for webshots.

Thanks so much for the recommendations, I'm going to try those and I'll get back with you.
