Screen Saver Files

Screen savers reduce wear on your display and provide security for your system. When Windows NT is installed, a default screen saver is selected. However, several other screen savers are included with Windows NT. To select a screen saver, double-click the Desktop icon in the Control Panel window.

To free hard disk space, you can delete screen savers that you don't intend to use, for example the bezier screen saver. To remove screen savers, delete the files using the Windows NT Setup program. For more information about removing files, see "Adding and Removing Windows NT Components" in Chapter 12, "System Maintenance with Windows NT Setup," in the Windows NT System Guide.

Windows NT includes the following screen saver files. For more information about screen savers, see "Working with Screen Savers" in Chapter 5, "Control Panel," in the Windows NT System Guide.
