XP ANIMATED SCREENSAVER

I got bored with the default screensaver that comes with Windows XP, that displays a static image of the Windows XP signage on different parts of the screen. So I created this version that is animated. Still boring, but at least a little improvement than the Microsoft version.

INSTALL

Extract "XP Animated.scr" into your "Windows/System32" directory.

UNINSTALL

Delete "XP Animated.scr" from Windows/system32 directory.

SET AS DEFAULT

If you want the default account to use this screensaver then run the included "setAsDefault.reg" screensaver. This way this screensaver will replace the static Microsoft version that appears when no-one has logged into a Windows XP machine.
