    Topmost Window w/screensaver

    i am making a program to disable screensavers. i've tried using an API spy to get the screen saver's class info but it returned blank. i've tried using 'GetActiveWindow' and 'GetFocus' to get a handle then hiding it using ShowWindow(hwnd&,SW_Hide). does anyone know if it's possible to hide or at least minimize the screen saver?

    Right click the desktop

    Click the Screen Saver tab

    In the list, select (none)

    Voila!!

    No, j/k.

    There is a way, I'll get back to you.

    There should be a way to do it from the registry; I'm not sure how or where, and I'm too busy to try and help. Sorry!

    Is this any screen saver or just one in particular? Because each screen saver will have its own class name. There is no one class name that applies for all screen savers.
