If you're running XP Pro, you can disable the use of all screen savers via
the Group Policy Editor (GPEDIT.MSC) Go to:
User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Control Panel, Display, Screen
Saver. Set this option to Disabled.
If you're running XP Home, and have Administrator rights, see
www.dougknox.com, Win XP Tips, Advanced Registry Editing for instructions on
how to edit the Registry manually, to accomplish the same change. The
Registry key affected is:
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Desktop
Value Name: ScreenSaveActive
Value Type: String
Value: 0
Alternatively, you can delete all SCR files from the
Windows\System32\dllcache and Windows\System32 folders, in that order.
