I installed the "Screen Savers" component; by default, no screen saver is
selected.

Is there a way to automatically configure a default screen saver in the
target manager ? is there a component that handles this ?

I suspect registry entries, if so, which ones ?
 
Pascal,
I have just been working on this stuff myself!

The registry keys are:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaveActive"="1"
"ScreenSaveTimeout"="600" ; delay time in seconds
"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0" ; controls password on screen save exit
"SCRNSAVE.EXE"="C:\Windows\System32\ssMyPics.scr"


The "MyPictures" screen saver (ssmypics.scr) is in the component:
"Software::System::Printing & Imaging::Applications::Windows Image
Acquisition"
I took this one, and pointed it to a simple copy of our company logo,
looks nice... There is a bunch of registry data in that same branch
that can be
used to control individual settings on each screen saver.

The other screen savers are in the component
Software::System:User Interface:Shells:Windows Shell:Shell Screen Saver
Registry Data.

I don't know where the default screen saver is setup in TD, sorry.

I use a fairly complicated process to customize my default user
settings,
which I like, because it centralizes everything in one place, I will
follow
on with a new thread, customizing the default user, to explain that..

two more things

After it has been loaded in the target system, the NTUSER.DAT settings
become the "HKEY_USERS\.Default" branch of the registry.

The screen saver from HKEY_USERS\.Default is applied when there is
no-one logged in to the machine...
