I don't dispute that's the way it works in XP. I didn't test XP's behavior.

It seems to work differently in Windows 7. My selected screensaver is MA3, but I still see Flying Toasters in the selection list. Along with stuff that doesn't exist, but not some stuff that does reside in system32.

I have no idea now it works in Vista.

I certainly agree that, to avoid confusion, in XP, "Just Say No to right-click/install."

Footnote: "Rename it MA3X.scr....., etc." - in Windows 7, the name that appears in the selection list would not be MA3X - it would be the internal name of the screensaver ("SereneScreen Marine Aquarium 3"). Which doesn't have to have anything to do with the filename of the .scr file. I find that rather nice.
