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

Here's an example for launching the screensaver in a form: http://blogs.msdn.com/markhsch/archive/2...-form.aspx

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
