How to delete a screensaver?

Question

i don't want to change my screen saver, i want to erase it entirely from the list. I tried going to search and typing in *.scr but the only thing i get is the "on-screen keyboard" is there a different process for windows vista?

Answer 1

Screen savers tend to live in the C:\Windows or  C:\Windows\System32 directory -- dangerous places for mortals to tread.  If you dare, navigate into those directories and find your screen saver.  

Good luck, and be careful.

Answer 2

If it's a screensaver you've installed yourself, there should be an uninstaller for it.

Screensaves live in System32, so check in there - but be careful.

Answer 3

first look at the display/Properties/Screensaver tab

and click each one listed to see what they look like so you can decide which ones you want to keep and which you want to get rid of. Write down the ones you plan to delete.

Now go to Search and Files and Folders....and type in *.scr for the filename and click Find Now.

As all the screensavers show up on the right hand side, you can then right click and delete the ones that are on your written list.
