Screen saver files (.scr extension) are executable, and why they are dangerous to obtain from unknown or iffy sources. You end up downloading executables onto your host. Just like .exe, and other executable files, .scr files can be infected, too, or simply defective in their coding. Screensaver files are .exe files renamed to .scr. https://wizardcyber.com/weaponizing-screen-savers-a-deep-dive-into-scr-file-exploitation/ Screensavers are coded using a programming language (e.g., C++) which call the ScreenSaverProc() function. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/scrnsave/nf-scrnsave-screensaverproc https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Windows_Programming/Programming_Screensavers Hunt for .scr files, like using Everything to find them. Double-click on an .scr file to execute it. For example, after double-clicking on the bubbles.scr file in C:\Windows\System32, you'll see bubbles floating across the screen until you click the mouse, or hit a key. If the .scr file doesn't work (as expected), and it's one of those supplied by Microsoft, get the .scr file from another distro of Windows. If it is not the actual screensaver program you need, but the manager to define parameters, like which screensaver (.scr) to use, timeout, password enabled, etc, you might want to use the God Mode for Control Panel. See: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-enable-god-mode-in-windows/ Then double-click the God Mode folder, and scroll to the bottom to get to the Power Options section where you see "Change screen saver". When you double-click that, you'll see the Screen Saver Settings dialog. This is probably a call to a function in a system library, like shell32.dll, to paint the dialog. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/lwef/screen-saver-library
