I got it. It was just my typo on the .scr in [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop] "ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0" "ScreenSaveTimeOut"="300" "ScreenSaveActive"="1" "SCRNSAVE.EXE"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\ssmypics.sc r"

Question is Local Display Properties Screen Saver isn't changing to My Pictures Slideshow if setting is another setting? Things work ok if I run manually. What registry key changes this? hope this makes sense. I am new at this one. Feedback appreciated I want to setup all our workstations with the photo slide show screen saver and have the screen saver load the photos from a central location on the network creating a domain GPO. We have XP boxes and server 2003. I think I have created the proper Registry settings and my batch file set to run the .reg file. I have configured ssmypics.scr & the .jpg located in a temp location (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures)for testing. My reg file consists of Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Screen Saver.Slideshow] "PaintInterval"=dword:00000000 "ChangeInterval"=dword:000088b8 "DisplayFilename"=dword:00000000 "MaxScreenPercent"=dword:00000064 "DisableTransitions"=dword:00000000 "AllowStretching"=dword:00000000 "AllowKeyboardControl"=dword:00000001 "MaxFailedFiles"=dword:000003e8 "MaxSuccessfulFiles"=dword:00010000 "MaxDirectories"=dword:000000c8 "ImageDirectory"="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures" [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Screen Saver.Slideshow] "PaintInterval"=dword:00000000 "ChangeInterval"=dword:00007530 "DisplayFilename"=dword:00000000 "MaxScreenPercent"=dword:00000064 "DisableTransitions"=dword:00000000 "AllowStretching"=dword:00000000 "AllowKeyboardControl"=dword:00000001 "MaxFailedFiles"=dword:000003e8 "MaxSuccessfulFiles"=dword:00010000 "MaxDirectories"=dword:000000c8 "ImageDirectory"="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures" [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop] "ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0" "ScreenSaveTimeOut"="300" "ScreenSaveActive"="1" "SCRNSAVE.EXE"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\ssmypics.scr" My reg file consists of regedit /s C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\My Pictures Slideshow.reg %windir%\system32\ssmypics.scr /s
