Here is an interesting one - to me anyway...

I'm trying to set the screensaver settings for a user logging into an NT
host using a Perl logon script so that...

 - The screensaver is set to winexit.scr
 - The screen saver is active
 - The time out value before it activates is say 900 seconds
 - The policy is such that the screensaver tab is not visible on the
Control Panel Display applet


Now I can set the registry values ok however when I set the time out
value using:

CUser/Control Panel/Desktop//ScreenSaveTimeOut

...the timeout value does not take effect until the user logs out and
back in again.


I am led to understand that the correct way to set the screen saver
settings is via a system call SystemParametersInfo().

I've reached a dead end.  Can anyone tell me - can this be done in Perl
in some way?


Thanks and regards,  Paul
