| 96626 | 2002-11-06 23:21:00 | I have a number screensavers listed in my screensaver box which I would like to delete, but cannot find out how to get rid of them. Can you help with instructions on how to do it. Thanks |

| 96627 | 2002-11-07 00:24:00 | Hi Walleroo2 Screensavers have the extension .scr. The files can be found in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. There are a lot of important files in the SYSTEM folder you don't want to accidently delete, so the best way of removing them is by doing a search for all files using *.scr in the search field. Then delete the unwanted files from this list. If you have installed a screensaver program, you should be able to uninstall it through add/remove. Cheers Jen |

If you are running windows and are trying to delete the 'packaged' screensavers that came with your OS I doubt you can. And why would you want to delete them anyway? Just don't use them, use power management instead. |

| 96630 | 2002-11-07 00:34:00 | Search the c:\ drive for *.scr files (screensavers have the extension .scr) and delete the unwanted files. | kiwipole (2469) | ||
