so… what’s the easiest way to modify %systemroot%\system32\logon.scr my executive director wants our company’s logo to bounce around the screen like the windows xp logon… i don’t want to write my own screensaver… i’d like to just modify one… anyone have suggestions WITHOUT using a 3rd party software… if that’s the case i can just buy whatever and do it… just wondering if you can edit / create .scr files, i never messed with them. ---

I don’t know if they are editable without a 3rd party software… maybe you could find a free-trial one at [www.download.com](http://www.download.com) though? ---

I was under the impression that .scr’s are simply .exe’s renamed to be a screen saver?? ---

> [@S10Blazed Si](#): > > I was under the impression that .scr’s are simply .exe’s renamed to be a screen saver?? they are… but if you edit it as an exe then how do i convert to .scr… just changing the file type doesn’t work ☹ ontop of the fact that i don’t see what i should be editing… it should just be a call for the .gif / .jpeg, but it’s embedded into the file… so i don’t know exactly how to put in a new picture, or remove the current… :hs: huskygrl… i know. i’m hoping i can just do it… i can’t use shareware or anything non-licensed… the whole legal thing… 🙂 ---
