Help!

AutoCAD LT "stole" the file association for .scr and now I
cannot start screensavers by double-clicking or from a
shortcut. (Windows 2000)

How do I "reassociate" .scr files with screensavers? I've
tried finding a "scrensav.exe" or similar program, as with
previous versions of windows, but I cannot find anything
to associate .scr with in Win2000.

I know how to associate files with an extension
(ususally), but cannot find anyting to associate .scr with
to run the screensaver. Nor can I find any setting in
AutoCAD 2002 LT to "disassociate" .scr files from AutoCAD
LT (.scr is also used for autocad sripts, but they are
apparently meant to be started at the command line, as a
switch or parameter to the aclt.exe command).

Very fustrating. Please assist.

Thank you.

Also see "logging on" administrators
That gives the scoop about having two administrators account , but not using
them (using "run as"

right mouse taskbar (it's listed as "display log off")

Open a command prompt window and type these two lines:

assoc .scr=scrfile
ftype scrfile=scrfile="%1" /S
