Someone has put a screensaver in the computer that I want
to delete. I am unable to locate the files. I want to
do more that just select <none> in the "Display"
settings. Where do I find the files?

Screensavers typically have a .scr extension. Search your computer for all
files that end in .scr. You should be able to pick out the offending little
bugger by its name.

Do a search for *.scr on your drive. Most of the Windows resident
screensavers are in C:\Windows\System32 subdirectory but other
screensavers can be stored anywhere.
