Hi, I'm trying to install a new screensaver, and the text file that came with it says to put in in the windows screen saver folder. Can any tell me where that is?

Hi, SpiritX

No, it didn't have an installer, but your other advice worked. Thanks!

Hi,

Did the screensaver come with any installer?

Use Start - Computer OR Windows Explorer

Look or search for .SCR files

Some in C:\Windows\System32  <--- some of these are Windows Defaults

There probably will be others in other folders

Maybe some useful information here.
