I'm sure there's a reason but I forgot.

I've been working on this script for 18 months now so it's been awhile. *lol*

In the control panel, the switch off display says one thing (30 seconds) but the timer is something else (5 minutes). It defaults to 2 minutes when MCE restarts without your script thingy.

That's why I used to bring up the display panel and just click Okay since that seemed to restore all the values correctly.
