Delete its corresponding .scr file in the \windows or \windows\system32
folder.

Depends on the screensaver and how it was installed to begin with.

If the screensaver is listed in Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs,
uninstall it from there.

If the screensaver has its own entry in the start menu, check for an
"Uninstall" shortcut.

If the screensaver shows up in Display> Screensavers and the other two
options were dead ends, locate the *.SCR file and delete it. You can use
Start> Search to search for all *.SCR files. When you get the Search
Results, you can delete the file right from that list. If unsure which *.SCR
file is which, double click each one to display a quick preview.

NOTE: If this is a third party screensaver that works with a third party
screensaver managing program (WebShots or something similar), check the
directions for that program. There should be something in the HELP file
about adding and removing screensavers.
