Thread: Turn off screensaver via function call

I would like to turn off the screensaver, if it is currently running. I have found these two functions, but neither of them seem to work.

Code:

SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE, FALSE, NULL, 0);
SendMessage(GetDesktopWindow(), WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_SCREENSAVE, -1);

Any help is appreciated.

OS?
Compiler?

Tried:-

Code:

HKEY hKey;

RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Control Panel\\Desktop", 0, KEY_SET_VALUE, &hKey);
RegSetValueEx(hKey, "ScreenSaveActive", 0, REG_SZ, "0", 1);
RegCloseKey(hKey);

?
