    Cheers for the reply, but i want to take off a screen saver and put it onto floppy for someone else, need to know the filename extension, or the folders their stored in, in order to whisk it off to the floppy drive.

    Its on Windows 98 aswell, not my own computer.

    Thanx anyway

    File extension is generally .scr I think. In the main windows directory?

    .scr or .exe depending - i think the .exe ones just create .scr s when you run them the first time tho

    c:\windows or thereabouts for windows 98 and 95, c:\winnt for win2k and c:\windows for winxp (actually win2k and winxp might store them somewhere else i am just guessing - win98 is definitly c:\windows tho)

    Just checked and it would appear that for XP they are in the system32 file.
