Removing Screensaver Listing
 

I downloaded a screensaver (from cnet.com) that ended up not being compatible with Vista. I thought I had it uninstalled, but it still shows up on the drop down menu in my screensaver screen. I can't find the file it's looking for (tunnel.scr) in any searches of my hard drive. How so I remove it from the list?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Screensavers\

Is it listed there? If so, delete it.

how do i get to that?

Start > Run > Regedit. Have to escalate to Administrator.

Then you just browse down the tree to it.

nope, it's not there

I don't have my vista computer handy to check but if you search for "*.scr" it should show the common directory I suppose.

vista's search is semi retarded in that it defaults to only searching indexed locations or some crap, go to the advanced settings and make sure its searching all files, not just indexed files.

as far as it being in the listing I forget what directory structure vista uses but for xp its /windows/system32.

Give it another looksee
