Screen savers

I believe it is fairly simple: save the *.scr file to the Windows folder or
the windows/system32 folder (not sure). That will make it come up in the
Display Properties > Screensaver drop down list.

The screensaver might otherwise come with an installer, so you'd run that
and let it install to where it is set to.
 
Got it. Thanks much...

I have been downloading screensavers from all sorts of sites and have simply
put them in a file in Programs labeled "screensavers". They also seem to end
up in Windows in system 32. These DO have installers with them though.

That's why they got to the right place. Having a copy elsewhere is
just wasting disk space.
