On our computer we have about 7 users. I would like to do a couple of things. We have a log off screensaver from the resource pack and it works. Regarding this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314999
1: How can I set a Global screen saver and prevent users from changing the screen saver?
2: in the article about the logoff screen saver it says to activate "Force application termination" It also says "set your corporate policy to automatically save user documents if you use the Force application termination option."

To set a global screensaver, run gpedit.msc and go to the UserConfiguration>Admin Templates>ControlPanel>Display Module. In this module, choose to hide the screensaver tab, enable screensaver, set the screensaver executable to the screensaver you want, set the screensaver password, and that should fix that.
Force application termination and corporate policy refer to Domain Controllers and roaming profiles, as far as I know (I could be mistaken)Local Profiles are automatically saved when forced off by an administrator or system event by default.
