Screen Saver questions

[Thildemar]

Hello all...

I have been trying for hours now to figure out what should be simple. I have created a screen saver in VB.net 2005. That when the .exe is renamed to .scr will work just fine, and I can right click>install it. The problem with this is I need to install it on many remote computers silently (corporate screensaver) I can find the registry key for the current screensaver and change it, but then if the user opens the screensaver control panel it shows current screensaver as none and when they close that control panel will set it back to none. There has to be a method to "install" a screensaver into the windows list of screensavers and set its default timeout etc. Most any screensaver you go download for free does this...so how do I do it? any help would be great!

This is not a VB.NET question and would have been more appropriately posted in the Deployment forum. The fact that you've created this screensaver in VB.NET is not related to your issue.

Have you copied the SCR file to the system32 folder? I believe that that is where Windows checks for screensavers to list in the Display Settings.
