I need to know what service / process initiates the screensaver and if I

can re-initiate within a script.

 

Thanks for replies...

Re: initiate screensaver

 

The SCR files are executable so you can just call them directly appending

the /s switch for full screen mode.

Re: initiate screensaver

 

This may also be what you're after.

 

%systemroot%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

Re: initiate screensaver

 

This looks like what I'm after, but it didn't seem to work. Are you

saying that the screen saver settings are initialized as part of the

user32.dll? Since the lockworkstation didn't work, I went through all

the parts of user32. Unfortunatley without descriptions to go by, it's

very cryptic. Any other ideas?

What was the result? That works on any 32 bit operating system I've tried.

What was the result of executing the SCR?
