Where can I read about doing this to GPO's? Is this through an external script?

One option would be to set up a second GPO that specified a particular screen saver, and then use a WMI filter to only apply that GPO to users who had not chosen anything for a screen saver.

That helped out! But now I have another question In the Screen Saver Section of the GPO: Screen Saver is enabled but no executable is specified, time is set. I know that if you do not have a screen saver specified in the configuration, the screen saver setting will not be enabled unless there is a selection made in the display properties Question: Is there a way to get the screen saver enabled where it will not override default screen savers already in place and/or get rid of the NONE option in the Screen Saver so when we enable this through policy it will be enabled Please help!

For example set it for 20 Minutes? I know how to do it through the registry but I still cannot see where I can do that through the GPO's. Well I can see where to add a registry entry but is there an easier way? Any help would be appreciate it.
