the SystemParametersInfo API allows you to enable/disable screensaver.
use the SPI_SETSCREENSAVEACTIVE as uiAction parameter and uiParam to True/False.

SystemparametersInfo has also a few uiAction values that you can use for dealing with power off issues:
SPI_SETPOWEROFFACTIVE
SPI_SETPOWEROFFTIMEOUT
