Screensavers?
I downloaded a screensaver and I want to know where the images are actually stored? And how would i go about removing the screensavers from the list in the screensaver properties?

Thanks

Look for a .scr file in \WINDOWS\System32 and delete the ones you don't want it the list.

Is there a specific folder in System32? It is a huge folder with thousands of files. I couldn't see any .scr files just scanning through them.

If you d/l'd it, it may be an executable .exe. Those are always the good ones, the spyware-virus laden kind.

There is still one that I can't get rid of. Are there any other files other than system32 that they could be in?
