I have Windows XP home edition, and I downloaded a screensaver that appears as ".scr" file (it's saved on my desktop). When I double-click it, it executes, but I don't know how to make it my default screensaver. How do i?

Open the MY COMPUTER icon. Open the C drive. Open the Windows folder. Drag the .scr file from the desktop to the System32 folder.
Right click on the desktop (away from the icons). A menu will appear. Choose PROPERTIES. Click the tab marked SCREENSAVER. Choose your screen saver from the list. Click APPLY.

take your ".scr" file and copy it into c:\windows\system32. When u're done right click on your desktop an go to properties. Then choose the screensaver tab ... now you should find your screensaver in the scroll list, after that just select it and click apply and u're done.

Try going through the properties.. Right click on the desktop, select properties.. then the screen saver tab if it's installed properly (and it has this function) it should be on the drop-list. Select if from there.
