I think the confusion is caused by what this feature does NOT do:
1. It does NOT permanently add the filename and path to any saved list of screensavers, even if one existed.
....
So, what does this mean when testing MA3?
....
2. If you bring up the Display Properties again, Windows will build a list of available screensavers from those residing in your sys32 drawer. .
Again, not that it matters, but that is not accurate - at least with Windows 7.
The list of available screensavers (in Display Properties, on my system) contains:
A. Screensavers that are not located in System32, but that I "right-click installed". (for instance, the E:\Screen Savers\Flying Toasters Retro\FlyingToasters.scr).
B. Screensavers that are apparently left over from an upgrade, and they don't work, and I don't know if there ever was a .scr file, and I don't know how to get them off the list. Such as "Windows XP" Screensaver.
However, although the list seems to contain
almost all of the .scr files that are in System 32, some of them are not in the list - such as logon.scr, and MarineAquarium3_10d.scr (which is obviously how I renamed the previous version).
