I found where I can add it to the default user for any new accounts but I am also looking to make changes to existing ones.

I add the DispalyString under the default user and then logged in as a new user. It did not add it to the new user account. Now I am really looking for a way to do this.

Gary,

This is the default setting for this in the registry for the user that is currently logged in. You try logging in to each user account one at a time, change this registry setting for the 3D Text screen saver to what you want the text to say, then apply the group policy to specify the 3D Text screen saver.
