Having said that - scrfile (the definition of .scr) behavior is defined in the registry. Here's where you would find the "-s" behavior:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scrfile\shell\open\command]
@="\"%1\" /S"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\scrfile\shell\ open\command]
@="\"%1\" /S"

Ad_Enuff, if you understand editing the registry (or using .reg files), fixing that should fix the behavior.  
I'll take a look and see what's happening tomorrow. Like most Global Desktops, they have been tweaked security wise as mentioned above...am I surprised? The build is bloaty and needs starting a fresh......I bet we will be using Vista before a new build arrives.
