I am trying to set a screensaver (password protected) for a thin clent user on windows 2000 network. i have tried to access control panel applications (display) but am denied access. Is this a permissions problem? I am extremely new to networking so can anyone help by giving me step by step instructions???? Cheers. matt

Cheers for your help guys, I copied the registry values from the administrator account (where i successfully setup the password protected screensaver) onto the thin client user. I found these in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/desktop then altered the values in the right pane. Just one question though. On the administrator account i have the 3d flying text, this is not present in the user registry. How can i create a registry key so that i can write in the text for the screensaver ?

Thanks for your prompt attention...have decided to try regedit approach. What do i need to change? I have found the reg keys for screensavers (HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Screen Saver.stars) in right pane: (default) REG_SZ (value not set) Should this data value be altered? not to sure about setting password and screensaver time delay etc...some more help would be really appreciated. Cheers for your help so far. Matt
