Screensaver timeout setting

Post by arobin4 » Wed Jan 21, 2015 5:59 pm

Hello forum:

I need to retrieve the screensaver timeout setting on the PC the macro is running on & store value to a variable. Is there a command or method to get this information?

Thanks!

Read the registry. The result is in seconds.

Code: Select all

RegistryReadKey>HKEY_CURRENT_USER,Control Panel\Desktop,ScreenSaveTimeOut,res
MDL>res
