[QUOTE="SteveV, post: 27475, member: 15481"] A screensaver is simply an execuable program with the .scr extension. As such, launching the screensaver is quite easy; c:\windows\system32\logon.scr /s starts the standard WinXP screensaver. You can create a batch file using note pad. Copy and paste the path to your favorite screensaver and save your batch file as screensaver.bat or similar. --Steve [EDIT] command line was missing the "/s" (start) switch Also, to get this to work with My Programs, create a File Launcher item in My Programs setup and add the screensaver batch file to this File Launcher entry via the "Files" tab.
