How to Uninstall Screensavers?
I have downloaded & installed some Screensavers which i would like to uninstall now.
Could you please tell me how? Because they don't show up in the Start-All Programs Menu so as to use any Uninstall command. Also they don't show up in the Control Panel-Add or Remove Programs. So, where and how can i find these files and uninstall them and also check in case some related files are still around so as to delete them? Thanks.

Search for files *.scr
They are usually in the WINDOWS\system32 directory. You can simply delete them JUST make sure your active screensaver isnt the one you are about to delete. A suggestion when tinkering with files within the WINDOWS directory is not to delete them at first; rename them to a useless extension name. Then after a reboot, when you are satisfied with the end result, you can delete it. For example rename fireworks.scr to fireworks.tmp ; that way it will not be on the screensavers list. |
