   Yes, there is:  I'm not sure if you're using WinXp [Home] or [Pro] - or if   
   [Home] has the command-line utility: [reg.exe] - but, in either case, my   
   second batch file example will work anyway, with the addition of a reg-file   
   [*.reg]   
      
      
   1).   
      
   @echo off   
   reg ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v SCRNSAVE.EXE /d   
   "drive:\path\mysaver.scr" /f   
   reg ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v ScreenSaveActive /d 1 /f   
      
   2).   
      
   @echo off   
   regedit.exe /s drive:\path\myregfile.reg   
      
      
    ....for the second example, you need a registry file [myregfile.reg] as   
   below;   
      
      
   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00   
      
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]   
   "ScreenSaveActive"="0"   
   "SCRNSAVE.EXE"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\SSTARS2.SCR"   
      
      
   If you have any queries about the solution[s] I've given, please post back,   
   and I'll try my best to talk you through them.....

   Cheers,    Tim Meddick,    Peckham, London.    :-)
