That's why I asked (18 Feb 2006, at 16:32) whether you had only one
plist file containing an idleTime key, Adam. If there *was* more than
one, it could have explained why the script was failing on your
machine. The "relatively simple fix" that I alluded to involved
deleting the 'exit repeat' statement (which ensures that *all* files
with an idleTime key are amended):

--------

set f to (path to preferences folder as Unicode text) & "ByHost"
tell application "Finder" to set l to (folder f's files whose name
starts with ¬
        "com.apple.screensaver " and name does not contain "slideshow")
repeat with i in l
        set p to (i as Unicode text)'s POSIX path
        tell application "System Events" to tell property list item ¬
                "idleTime" of property list file p to if exists then
                if value is 0 then
                        set value to 180
                else
                        set value to 0
                end if
        end if
end repeat
tell application "ScreenSaverEngine"
        launch
        quit
end tell

--------
