Setting a Movie or slideshow as a screensaver when logged off

[newpersn]

Our librarian wants her computers to play a video when they are not in use. Is there anything we can do/use?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Can't help you with movies but we set the Not Logged in screen saver on our PC's as follows

 

1) Find a copy of the old ssmypics.scr and copy to c:\windows\system32

2) Create your folder structure. A NLI screen saver must have rights to the folder it's in... Ours is c:\system\ss\LI and c:\system\ss\NLI These folders are refreshed on every login just incase anyone ever finds them!!

3) Import the reg file below

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]

"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="60"

"ScreenSaveActive"="1"

"SCRNSAVE.EXE"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\ssmypics.scr"

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"PowerOffActive"="0"

"PowerOffTimeOut"="0"

"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0"

"ScreenSaveTimeOut"="300"

"ScreenSaveActive"="1"

"SCRNSAVE.EXE"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\ssmypics.scr"

 

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Screen Saver.Slideshow]

"ImageDirectory"="C:\\System\\ss\\NLI"

"PaintInterval"=dword:00000000

"ChangeInterval"=dword:00001770

"DisplayFilename"=dword:00000000

"MaxScreenPercent"=dword:00000064

"MaxFailedFiles"=dword:000003e8

"MaxSuccessfulFiles"=dword:00010000

"MaxDirectories"=dword:000000c8

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Screen Saver.Slideshow]

"ImageDirectory"="C:\\System\\ss\\LI"

"PaintInterval"=dword:00000000

"ChangeInterval"=dword:00001770

"DisplayFilename"=dword:00000000

Thank you. Is there a quick way i can throw that in to my GPO in the registry without applying to to my machine and then pointing GPM to look at my registry settings?
