    hey, i didn't really know where to stick this one but here it is:

    does anyone know the name of the .exe for windows screen saver. I mainly want this so i can call it up, password protected so ille pudgy fingers can't **** with my computer. etc.

    The only thing i found so far was this screen which calls up a black screen type thing with pw. kinda screen saver but its not what i'm looking for.

    I'm running Win98, not SE.

    Cheers,
    Gideon.

    set up your screensaver as usual with the password etc. set it to something like 60mins or something thats not going to **** you off when ur reading something etc....

    screensavers are located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. they are .scr files. just pick the one you want right-click and choose 'create shortcut'. then move this shortcut to your desktop and when u click on it, your screensaver comes up with password.
    i invented '.com'
