Registry key for hiding Screen Saver tab

You can hide a Screen Saver tab in Windows XP by adding a new DWORD registry entry in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\System]. 

After you drill down to this key, right click, choose DWORD, and type NoDispScrSavPage.  Then, set the value for this entry as follows:

• NoDispScrSavPage = 1   to hide Screen Saver tab
• NoDispScrSavPage = 0   to unhide Screen Saver tab

This is the whole string after you create the entry, and if you export it out.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Policies\System]

"NoDispScrSavPage"=dword:00000001

Also, this entry applies to a current user, meaning it applies to each user who logs on to the machine; so you have to find a way that each user gets this setting when he/she logs on.
