Tony. Do you really mean that you want to get programmatic
control of that tab in that window? Or do you mean that you
want access to the properties of the screensaver?

If the former, then you're going to have to fiddle around
with the sort of stuff Simon Brunning's done:

If the latter, then you want to look in the registry under
(for my Win2k box):

HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop

for things like:

ScreenSaverIsSecure
ScreenSaveTimeOut

and under

HKCU\Control Panel

for

Screen Saver.Marquee
Screen Saver.Mystify

etc.

Does that help at all?
