Where is the Windows screen saver executable located?

[mshan]

I want to use the program Hot Key Plus (http://www.brianapps.net/hotkeyplus/) to be able to instantaneously engage the Windows screen saver, but I can't find the actual executable file within Windows.

Can anyone direct me to where within the Windows program files it is located?

screen savers are *.scr files usually. im not sure how to start them with a program like that. you can find them in the c:\windows\system32\ folder

Hi:

Guess I should have read that webpage more carefully. I just had to modify the windows keystrokes to activate his sstart.exe file.

Start the default screen saver nircmd.exe screensaver

Hi, Screen Savers have an .SCR extension, but are actually .EXE programs. They can be run exactly like you would run any executable. Just click on one. It should run. You could change the extension to .EXE, but if I remember correctly it doesn't matter. Try it, Jim
