Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / January 2004delete screensavers
I have a programe that randomly picks a screensaver. I have downloaded the screensavers I would like to deploy. I do not want to see screensavers such as 'Stars', but when I delete the .scr file from windows32 folder it automaticaly re-installs itself. How can I remove the .scr file permanently? All help gratefully received. Regards PeterW Hi, First delete the corresponding file from /system32/dllcache folder and then delete it from system32. This should prevent WFP from replacing the file.

On a search for this folder, I get a find in c:windows\lastgood.tmp\system32 but this folder does not contain any relevent files. Still struggling. if there is a solution, could anyone please post oit. Regards PeterW Hi Peter, This is a hidden folder, so please turn on the view to show hidden folders. This can be done by click on tools >> folder options and select "show hidden files and folders".

Search includes hidden folders. I still do not appear to have dllcache folder. Still stuck and praying. (Only option left?) Hi Peter, Just type at Start >> Run C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache and press enter. This should take you to the dllcache folder. The dllcache folder is not visible since it is marked 'system'. If you also turn the view to show system files through folder options, then only dllcache folder will be visible.
