1. Go to Project/Properties/Make
2. Change the Title to: "SCRNSAVE: screen saver title"
3. File / Make Project1.exe but when you make it, just change .exe to .scr
4. Explore the options by displaying COMMAND$ as Windows sends switches to your .SCR (renamed from .EXE). I don't recall them off the top of my head, I think that windows more or less send "/C" for the "Settings" applet, sends "/P" for preview mode, and there is one other one and the /C may be incorrect, but thats how you do it.

When your done copy it to Windows\System or Winnt\System32 and it should show up in your Display Properties / Screen Saver tab!

Thanks Jason!! This works great! I've been looking
for this answer for a while, too!

I'd like to add the following:

In my little example project, I found that if you don't check for a previous existance of your App, windows may launch multiple copies of it...

Definitely check Command$ and perform the appropriate action.

I do have a question....within the screen saver tab where the user can select the screen saver, how do you make the .SCR appear within the little monitor on the screen like other screen savers do?


Thanks again Jason!!
