ScreenSaver

[Some information relates to pre-released product which may be substantially modified before it's commercially released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.]

ScreenSaver specifies the path to a Windows® screen saver file in a theme.

Themes enable users to customize elements of the Windows visual style, including elements such as the desktop, background, and screen saver.

Only built-in Windows screen saver files such as Mystify.scr and Ribbons.scr are supported.

Note  

We do not recommend setting this value. Instead, we recommend using automatic power plans to dim the screen. This can help reduce system power consumption. For more information, see Understanding Battery Life and Power Plans in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK).
