you can make your own 'lists' too
To make the Win95/Win98 3D Text screensaver display whatever text you want, add the following text to your Control.ini file: ---------Add to the control.ini file------------- [Screen Saver.3DText] magic=c:\windows\magic.txt ------------------------------------------------- At the path specified in the entry above, in this case 'c:\windows', make a file with the name used in the entry above, in this case 'magic.txt'. ---------Contents of the magic.txt file---------- -lines line1 line2 Another Line Last Line -words Run Walk Shout Jump ------------------------------------------------- Create as many sections as you want and place at the top of the section a hyphen and the section title. ('-lines' for example) In each section place a group of words you want the screensaver to display. When you type in the section title in the text field in the screensaver setting menu, the 3D Text screensaver will cycle through the list of entries and will display the entries in random order.

Not sure, but it seems to me that it didn't work on all versions of Windows.

I have Win 2K and my guess is that is why it won't work.
