We need to have have View Desktop need to be automatically locked after certain period of inactivity (120 Seconds) . I have run the below script frpm Windows 7 optomization Script but no go, please let me know if I am missing any settings

reg ADD "hku\temp\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop" /v SCRNSAVE.EXE /d "%windir%\system32\scrnsave.scr" /f

reg ADD "hku\temp\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop" /v ScreenSaveTimeOut /d "600" /f

reg ADD "hku\temp\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop" /v ScreenSaverIsSecure /d "1" /f

You have your timeout set for 600 seconds and not 120.  change the 600 to 120.

reg ADD "hku\temp\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop" /v ScreenSaveTimeOut /d "120" /f

I would use group policies though.   It'll make your life easier in case in the future you need to adjust it.

Thanks Lary, I have tried the reg setting but somehow it's not working for me, let me if I am missing anything.

Can you please let me know the group policy for this setting

Thanks

User Configuration - Control Panel/Personalizaton -  Force specific screen saver - Screen saver executable name: %windir%\system32\scrnsave.scr

User Configuration - Control Panel/Personalizaton - Password protect the screen saver: Enabled

User Configuration - Control Panel/Personalizaton - Screen saver timeout - Number of seconds to wait to enable the screen saver seconds: 120

Thosewould be the actual settings.  You can point to whichever screensaver u like or a custom one within your view vm's or network storage.
