Restrict the Screen Saver
This restriction can be used to specify the screen saver or to stop screen savers from running. Also, the Screen Saver settings page is disabled, so users cannot change the screen saver options.
Open your registry and find or create the key below.
Create a new DWORD value called "ScreenSaveActive" and set it to "0" to disable all screen savers.
Alternatively create a new string value called "SCRNSAVE.EXE" and set it to the executable name of a valid Windows screen saver file, including the .scr extension. This will only be used if "ScreenSaveActive" is set to "1" or deleted from the registry.
Restart Windows for the change to take effect.
Settings:
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop]
Name: ScreenSaveActive, SCRNSAVE.EXE
Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
