Disable display properties 4

[DeepBlueIT]

Hi, can anyone help me out with the registry change to prevent users accessing Display Properties. I am trying to restrict users from changing screensaver and wallpaper.
Thanks

Note:

. the key values may not be there and need to be created
. as this is HKCU, you need to "push" these changes to all users as they logon. See:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...w2kmag01/html/DistributingRegistryChanges.asp

. do not forget making the changes for one user, and exporting the relevant registry keys to a file. Then use regedit /s [name of .reg file] to import them for each user at logon or startup.
