• start->run : mmc

• file->add/remove snapin

• hit the add button

• click group policy, and add button

• Group POlicy Object should say Local Computer, click finish

• click close

• click ok

• Click the plus sign next to the Local Computer Policy

• then click the Computer configuration if you want it to run on every boot no matter what user or click on user for user level scripts

also, can do i need to have a domain controller and have a AD in order to have login scripts? Can i have a script just on my own machine?

see above

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

Look in that key, there are two values you need to change:

SCRNSAVE.EXE --> holds the info on which screen saver to run and

ScreenSaveActive --> 1 means active 0 means disabled

Is this in the registry, or is would that be through the logon script writing to the registry?


Sorry for the inmense amount of questions.

thats in the registry your script would have to write to the registry to change the defaults.
