Guest ProPayne Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 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?
