💡 Tips

• To see all screen savers:

  dir c:\windows\system32\*scr

• You can adjust the duration of the screen timeout (600 sec):

  reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v ScreenSaveTimeOut /t REG_SZ /d 600 /f

• Also, you don't need to rename the file to 'scr' extension. Instead, you can directly install the file with the 'exe' extension.

  reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v SCRNSAVE.EXE /t REG_SZ /d C:\Windows\system32\main.exe /f
