support an 800x600 display mode, you'll be able to run the screen saver and
have your settings restored when it exists. 15 fully animated scenes
including falling snow, moving clouds, and many animated objects over
gorgeous winter and holiday backgrounds. Includes 5 holiday songs. A
single pass through takes 16 minutes.

Neither of the above 2 URLs worked for me. I did a search for
hh2003.zip and found it here:
http://custom.lab.unb.br/pub/simtel/win95/scrsave/.

I'm dl from there now, as we speak.

The Simtel redirects seem to be screwed up. I have found that I can
download from the mirror sites *if* I right click and open the link in a
new tab (with Javascript enabled) . . .

Jason posted a Proxomitron filter that also works . . .

dunno, but someone else posted that it installed Nav Helper.

more info about Nav Helper here:

http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/NavExcel.html

Evidently it can be removed easily:

<q> Go to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, choose the
'NavHelper' and click 'Remove'. Restart the computer </q>
