Delete Unwanted Screen Savers Loaded w/XP
Posted 8/12/2002 by TweakXP Member - Views: 3234

If anyone else was wondering how to get rid of the annoying Screen Savers that Microsoft feels you have to have with XP they made it a little more difficult than normal.

 

 


1. First navigate to “C:\windows\system32\dllcache”. Cut and paste or type in your address bar to get there  because it is a hidden folder . Once there, delete the Screen Savers in that folder . Otherwise, you will find that they will come back no matter how many times you delete them from your system 32 folder.
2.  Then you have to go to C: \Windows\system32 and delete the Screen Savers you want to get rid of . (Answer the file protection popups with cancel and yes.)
3.  Voila---no more Screen Savers!!!!
