Hi All

Hope everyone is doing well :)

I have set the screensaver Idle Time in caspers managed prefs to 15 mins and this works great. All machines screensavers set to come on at 15 mins.

My only question.. Is there a way to make sure the user can't change this setting? Ie, grey out the screensaver time slider?

I know I can set it at every login, but id really like to grey out the slider so the user can't change it at all.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance

Regards,
John

    Hi,

    Grey out the screensaver in system prefs, also if the managed prefs is
    an ALWAYS pref then it will reset and the user cant make the change
    stick
