How do I quick-start a screensaver from desktop?

Question

Usually for a quick-start of screensaver from desktop we have to create a desktop short-cut of the .scr file from Windows system32(XP-SP2).On double-clicking that short-cut icon on desktop & leaving your hand from the mouse, the screensaver starts.In my case,on double-clicking the icon,the 'settings' window only starts,and the screensaver does not start at all.I have seven screensavers and all are like that.

Any solution,please?

Answer 1

Sounds like there's something wrong with the shortcut - maybe it's not pointing at the correct file?

I just tried to make a shortcut and Windowz thinks that the .scr is associated with another program - check in Explorer-Tools-Folder Options-File Types to see if .scr has been grabbed by another program... well, it's not listed there - I'm stuck!!

Answer 2

to make it correct follow the steps:

1)go to control panel and select FOLDER OPTIONS.

2)Then choose file types Tab

3)then click on "NEW"

4)then in file extension write:               .scr

5)after writing press ok then click on SCR

6) go to advanced located down then choose "test"as default. then press ok.

then try

hope it works.
