Anyone know how to launch the default windows screensaver using C#. All I can find with google is examples in VB6!

Hmm, they seem to cheat by just launching a .SCR with a path. Prehaps I'll just do that if nothing else turns up.

Apparently, it's just an executable that is renamed ".scr": http://www.harding.edu/fmccown/screensav...saver.html

Yepp, rename a .scr-file to .exe and it behaves like any runnable program Smile
