    Is there a way to uninstall XP screensavers...i've done so a few times but they keep coming back :eek:

    Read that it may work if i delete the backup copy that Windows keeps in the dll cache...can't find it though :(

    Anyone managed to successfully uninstall these.

    Are you talking about the XP default ones?

    They don't use hardly any space or resources leaving them there. Personally, I would just leave them as is because removing XP default files could cause problems eventually.

    I agree.

    But, if you must. The extension for screen savers are: .scr.

    They are normally located within c:\windows\system32
