Your script began working perfectly when I simply trashed all but the most current version of the com.apple.screensaver .plist files.

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
