Thanks for all of your ideas. I am going to try locking down the preference pane file and modifing the plist file. The other thing I have been experimenting with is creating a cron job that performs a shell script that does a default write to the "com.apple.screensaver..... " file every few minutes. But I have been getting unexpected results.

I still think there should be an easy apple script answer : )


Try the following with whatever modifications you need for the file path on your machine and make sure password security is enabled in System Prefs:


tell application "Finder"
activate
try
open alias "MacHD:System:Library:Frameworks:ScreenSaver.framework:Versions:A:Resour ces:ScreenSaverEngine.app:"
on error errM
display dialog errM
end try
end tell
