Configuring the Screen Saver

To configure the Logoff Screen Saver, right click on logoff32.scr then select Configure. You can also press the “Settings” button on the Screen Saver tab in the Display Properties dialog box. You will need to be logged in as an Administrator to change the settings.

General Settings Tab

Force Applications to Close
Checking this will cause the computer to log the user off even if there are open programs. If the operating system is Windows 95, 98, or Me the computer is rebooted. Not all programs respond well to a force close message. Please test your software before implementing this feature.
Note: If the computer is locked by the user, this box needs to be checked to cause a logoff.
Seconds to Logoff
Set the seconds to display to the logoff warning message. This is the period of time the user has to stop the logoff. This feature is only available in the registered version.
Use Computer Setting for Screen Saver Timeout
Normally the group policy settings for the screensaver are set in an Organizational Unit (OU) that deals with the user. This setting affects the registry key “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop”. If a group policy is set in an OU that deals with the computer it will read the screensaver settings from “HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop” instead. If the Logoff Screensaver is improperly reporting the idle time, checking this box will cause the Logoff Screensaver to read the setting from the default user instead of the current user.
Enable Beep Tone
Checking this will cause a beep to be sent to the computers speaker.
Registered To
This is the name of the company that the software registration key was issued to. This is case sensitive and must be entered exactly as it appears on your registration form.
Registration Key
This is the registration key. Entering this number will activate the ability to alter the settings of the screen saver.

Warning Message Tab

This is where you can enter six lines of test to display to the user. Editing the text is only available in the registered version.
