modifying Display Properties (Screen Saver) values

VM
Can I modify the Display Properties->ScreenSaver tab values from within a
Windows C# application? During setup of my screensaver, I'd like to be able
to configure this tab (specifically, Screen Saver to use and minutes) so the
user doesn't have to go there and do it manually.
Also, is it the same process with any Windows OS or would I need to check
what version it's running? Finally, would this work with any user regardless
of what group they're in? Is protection an issue for this config (eg. my
program may not have permission to access these settings when user Guest is
logged on)?

Thanks.

I noticed you have posted a same message in the newsgroup
"microsoft.publ ic.dotnet.langu ages.csharp" more recently, I have just
replied it there.
Please check it at that thread.
Thanks!

Is it possible to decide where user.config is stored by Properties.Settings.Default.Save? The default location seems to be "C:\Documents and Settings\\Local settings\Application Data\\\" and there are several reasons why I want to change that: 1.

Hi, Our software runs on a XP system attached to a touch screen monitor and smartcard USB reader. We run our own simple corporate screen saver. When the screen is touched the screen saver vanishes, but when a user inserts a smartcard (we're polling for inserts) the screen saver doesn't vanish. Is there any way we can awaken the system and stop the screen saver from code please?

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
