Delete Unwanted Screen Savers Loaded w/XP

Posted in Windows XP by Community Submission

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!!!!
