SUMMARY
When you run an unattended setup of Windows NT Workstation or Server, you may want to configure Windows NT so that all users will have the same screen saver by default.

MORE INFORMATION
To set a default screen saver in Windows NT, complete the following steps in your I386 share point:

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

 Expand the Default._ file to default. For example, use the following command: Rename the Default._ file to Default.org. Bring up the Registry Editor by running Regedt32.exe (not Redgedit.exe) and select the HKEY_Local_Machine on Local Machine window. Select the HKEY_Local_Machine folder. On the Registry menu, click Load Hive, and then select the "default." file from the shared I386 directory. When you are prompted for a key name, give it the name of "work" (without the quotation marks).  Under HKEY_Local_Machine\work\Control Panel\Desktop, set the following values:

     ScreenSaveActive:RegSZ:1 ScreenSaveIsSecure:RegSZ:1 ScreenSaveTimeOut:RegSZ:300 ScrnSave.EXE:RegSZ:C:\winnt\system32\logon.scr

NOTE: This will set the password protected option, wait time to 5 minutes, and the screen saver to the Logon screen saver.  Select the "work" key and click Unload Hive on the Registry menu. Click Yes at the "Do you want to continue the operation?" dialog box.</li> Run your unattended install from the shared I386 directory.</li></ol>
