ScreenSaverGracePeriod setting in registry

1) Is the ScreenSaverGracePeriod setting supposed to work in Vista, as in

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;221784 ?

We have a group policy that sets this REG_SZ value in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon, and

it works in Windows XP, but it does not seem to have any effect in Windows

Vista.

I have tried it in:

Windows Vista Business SP-1

Windows Vista Enterprise

Windows Vista Enterprise SP-1

Windows Vista Enterprise SP-1 64-bit

As an experiment, I tried it at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows

NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon and it seems to work. This may actually be a

better place to put it (a user setting), but is not documented.

2) Can I expect it to continue working?

3) Any idea if it will work in pre-Vista versions? (I haven't tried it

yet.)

4) Is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows

NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ScreenSaverGracePeriod supposed to override

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows

NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ScreenSaverGracePeriod, or vice-versa?
