newpersn Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) 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 Newp Edited February 21, 2017 by newpersn
AJWhite1970 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) 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 "DisableTransitions"=dword:00000001 "AllowStretching"=dword:00000000 "AllowKeyboardControl"=dword:00000000 "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 "MaxScreenPercent"=dword:00000064 "DisableTransitions"=dword:00000001 "AllowStretching"=dword:00000000 "AllowKeyboardControl"=dword:00000000 "MaxFailedFiles"=dword:000003e8 "MaxSuccessfulFiles"=dword:00010000 "MaxDirectories"=dword:000000c8 Hope that helps Andrew Edited February 21, 2017 by AJWhite1970 1

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?
