Screensaver settings
-
Hi All, I was hoping someone might be able to lead me to some information regarding the screensaver settings. I have been tasked with implementing some functionality to programmatically set the Screensaver timeout period as well as ensure the "On resume, password protect" option under the Desktop->Properties. I found what I think is a simple way to set the timeout period, utilizing the SystemParametersInfo call. It seems straight-forward, just make the following call: SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETSCREENSAVETIMEOUT, 30*60, NULL, SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE); Now the problem - I need to be able to uncheck the "On resume..." option, which I cannot seem to find a way to do.
