Screensaver Registry and more
  Hi,
I'm new at NSIS, but I am a programmer in C\C++, so I have a good understanding of computers/code. I am trying to create an install to a screensaver. How would, at the end of the program, set my screensaver to be the current screensaver, and open the control panel for screensaver(otherwise accessed by rightclicking the desktop>properties>screensaver)? What registry key holds the current screensaver info, and how would I open the screensaver settings box? Thanks
Levi

I don't know any official way using the registry, but when I want to install a screensaver I use ExecShell "Install". I would then execute whatever file brings up the display properties ($Sysdir\Something.cpl or $Sysdir\Something.exe).

:) Thanks, I've figured it out. I used ExecShell.
