Screensavers and Group Policies

[Guest]

Hi

As a corporate standard we use the Marquee screensaver with a set text.
This text has recently been changed and so I was wondering if anyone knows
how to change the text on everyone else's PCs using group policies or other?
This would save us a load of work in that we will otherwise have to go round
everyone's PC and change the text that is displayed once the Marquee
screensaver is activated.

Many thanks

Hi

I don't know that it can be done through Group Policy, but a .reg file
would work:

-----------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Screen Saver.Marquee]
"Text"="Whatever you want here"

-----------------------------------------------
