    Can anyone think of a reason why this wouldn't work?

    -----
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
    "SCRNSAVE.EXE" = "C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\FILQLO.SCR"

    [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
    "ScreenSaveActive" = "1"

    [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
    "ScreenSaveIsSecure" = "0"

    [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
    "ScreenSaveTimeOut" = "60"

    ...or should I be going after hkey_current_user?

    Maybe because it's actually spelled FLIQLO? ;)
