do shell script "defaults -currentHost write com.apple.screensaver idleTime 0"

You may have to quit and relaunch System Preferences for the change to be reflected in the GUI. It should be effective immediately.

Hi,

Due to the underwhelming response to my last try, I'll try again.

Using GUI scripting, I would like to be able to control the "Desktop & Screen Saver" preference. My main interest is in controlling the "Start Screen Saver slider.

Surely there is a way to do this.

Thanks in advance,
