    There's nothing special...

    Just make a fullscreen app and add code to exit into MouseMove and KeyDown events... To allow configuration use the Command() function to get the parameters... I think -d stands for config, not sure though...

    You need to use command lines and start in sub main to find out what windows wants you to do...

    Compile it with the extension .SCR instead of .EXE.

    There are four things that windows wants you to do:

    (not sure of cmd line args)
    1. Screensaver
    2. Password
    3. Preview
    4. Configure
    All contents of the above post that aren't somebody elses are mine, not the property of some media corporation.
    (Just a heads-up)
