Hello,

I have a *.scr file and looking for help to build a screensaver installation script (copy the scr into the right place, registry setting and set the new scr as default screensaver). Is there a working sample for that?

Thanks for your help

on 2000 & XP screensavers stay in \System32
Not sure about 9.x/Me, on these they maybe have to be copied to \System.

Get a registry monitoring tool, make a snapshot, change the screensaver, make another snapshot and compare it to the first one - this way you'll see what has to be changed. Maybe first try to search the registry for the name of the current screensaver.
Note that the default screensaver is likely a per-user setting.
