That it actually played a part of the whole thing. But apparantly not. =) I have done some testing. This is what I have figured out - So if someone knows it is wrong, please correct me. =) I have tried to update the following with the Updatethingy: ScreenSaveActive - Works ScreenSaverIsSecure - Works ScreenSaveTimeOut - Does not work SCRNSAVE.EXE - Works Wallpaper - Works

Try looking at the policies to see if the Local Setting is different than the Effective Setting. You may only be changing the local setting and the effective setting to say 10 min, but the effective setting which could be set via GP from the domain may still be set to 15 min. _________________________ Common sense isn't so common.

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4562 Loc: USA	I used to do what you are doing in my login script for both W2K and XP. I had no problems adjusting the timeout. I didn't use Jen's UpdateUserParameters UDF, but just a simple set command (I think they are doing similiar things, just differnt ways). Here's a link to a post similar to this: Applying Registry Settings You might try the set command, but if Jen's UDF is not working, the set probably won't help either. Code: $sskey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" WriteValue($sskey, "ScreenSaveActive", "1", "REG_SZ") WriteValue($sskey, "ScreenSaveTimeOut", "120", "REG_SZ") WriteValue($sskey, "ScreenSaverIsSecure", "1", "REG_SZ") WriteValue($sskey, "SCRNSAVE.EXE", "C:\WINDOWS\System32\scrnsave.scr", "REG_SZ") set 'ss='
