(Y) is checked
(N) is unchecked

It says
* (Y) Enable specific screensaver settings
** (N) Disable screensaver
.
** (N) Disable Powersettings

IMHO the result is the same but would be easier to read

* (Y) Enable specific screensaver settings
** (Y) Enable screensaver
.
** (Y) Enable Powersettings

I just think it's easier for the user to deal only with "enable"
