    Question about Windows XP Screen Saver, Power Manager and Command Line Interface

    Is there a command line interface that will allow me to :

    1. Set the screen saver and time out?
    2. Change the timeout for power when it's plugged in?

    Basically, I want to dbl click a CMD file on my desktop that would set my screen saver from none to blank and then enable after 1 minute and then change the power for the monitor to turn off in 1 minute, instead of me always going into the display properties to change it.

    Thanks.

    Stan.

    Display Power Management

    Display Power Management is a small command-line tool that allows you to turn the monitor or the screen saver on and off to save power. Run display.exe in a Command Prompt to learn more about its syntax.

    Hi,

    To Set the screen saver and time out :

    SetScrTimeout.exe <timeout value in seconds>

    Example:
    To set the screensaver timeout value to 30 seconds, use this command:

    C:\Tools\SetScrTimeout.exe 30

    And to change the timeout for power : read this
