I don't know if this would be easy or not... I think it might be though. And please don't think this request is necessary by any means. I really want to see those new fish!

But someday, if you have time would it be very difficult to add a "Disable Windowed Mode" checkbox to the program settings and if checked not allow the switch between full screensaver and windowed mode via the "F" key?

If you were to add that then the workaround for locking a vista machine via .bat file would work with your screensaver too.

Again, this is definitely NOT important but would be a really "nice to have" for all the Vista (soon to be Windows 7) users out there.

Hi,

There is an option in the program to start in Windowed, or not - just changed to not-windowed, but it still does not starts as a "screen-saver" triggering the option in the Screensaver settings panel to prompt for the password at the end...when you click on the tray icon it seems to just run the scr file outside of the screensaver panel....it would have to be built into the program...

I guess that goes back to my original question about whether someone knows a good screensaver control program that is a tray icon that interacts with the windows screensaver control....I have one that is really good - but does not seem to work well with either Vista, or Vista x64....not sure which- the program was really written for several windows renditions prior - in 2001.

Was a nice tray based screensaver interface to turn off, turn-on, turn-off for 5,15,30,60,120 minutes, launch now, select which screensaver, etc.

Maybe someone wants to take a look and see if they can write an updated one.....http://www.stardustsoftware.com/down...ls/sscontrol2/

I've contacted them before and they seem to have no interest/intent to update this....
