How to add a screen saver to Display list?

[Guest]

Have a floppy disk with some old screen savers. They will run in my WXP if
inserted in drive. How can I add them to the list in Display so that I could
use them by checking their "name" rather than having to put in the floppy.
"Help" only deals with adding to My Pictures and using as screen saver and I
know how to do that. Can someone please explain how to add the programs from
the floppy ? Thanks much for any help.

well if you have screen savers saved to a disk, why not just copy them
to your local drive and implement them they way you would if they were
on the disk drive. and if they are actual screen saver programs, why
not just install the programs on your local drive instead of having
them run from the floppy disk

Copy the *.scr files to your Windows directory. Now they should appear
in the "Screensaver" dropdown box in the display properties dialog.

Thanks, aadil781. But, WHERE do I copy them to, to make them appear in "Display" ? Can't remember.

Thank you, Tim !! That is what I wanted to know - WHERE to copy them to so
that they would appear in the "Display" settings/options... Just could not
remember where they were and didn't go check out all the directories for
content... Thanks, again.
