Why not just modify the GPO?

Look in the template (ADM) file to find the specific registry key / value.
However if you are disabling it via GPO, isn't it simply going to get disabled again?

Is it the actual screensaver setting that is disabled or just the "Screen Saver" tab in "Properties" that is disabled?

I need to re-enable the screensaver and then change the text on the ssmarque.scr.
When i tried to write to the registry key , i relised that it was not present becuase we had disbale the screensaver tab via gpedit.msc.
Would you recommend re-enabling the screensaver through AD Group Policy and then write the changes to text via the kix?

It is just the screensave tab that is disabled. When you right click the desktop the only tab that shows is settings.

ScreenSaverIsSecure="1"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Screen Saver.Marquee

I prefer to include the type parameter...
$a = WRITEVALUE ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Screen Saver.Marquee","text","South Lanarkshire Leisure",REG_SZ)
