>What is the most common way of storing screen saver settings? I did a little searching on the internet for answers but I came up empty. I was thinking about throwing the settings values into an INI or XML file, but I guess I will run into a problem with multiple users on one machine (unless I put the settings file into the users folder). The thought has also struck me that the screen saver settings might be stored in the registry.

Einar,
This is VFP code using winAPI to get parameters:

Declare short SystemParametersInfo In WIN32API ;
	integer uiAction, Integer uiParam, Integer @pvParam,  Integer fWinIni

#Define SPI_GETSCREENSAVETIMEOUT   14
#Define SPI_SETSCREENSAVETIMEOUT   15
#Define SPI_GETSCREENSAVEACTIVE    16
#Define SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE    17
#Define SPI_GETSCREENSAVERRUNNING 114
#Define SPI_SETSCREENSAVERRUNNING  97

Store 0 To bActive, bRunning, iTimeout
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETSCREENSAVETIMEOUT, 0,@iTimeout, 0)
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETSCREENSAVEACTIVE, 0,@bActive, 0)
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETSCREENSAVERRUNNING, 0,@bRunning, 0)
