    I am trying to find the base folder of the windows screensaver so I can download other screensavers into it. When I go to Control panel/display/screensaver/settings I don't see the name of the folder that contains the windows screensavers, help anyone?

    Do a search for .scr files; they should all be in about the same place. I also seem to remember being able to run screensavers from outside the normal directory by right-clicking the .scr file and selecting 'Install'.

    They are in C/Windows/system32, I thought that they would have had a separate "folder" just for the screensavers, thanks.
