    Set a screensaver as a wallpaper


    While looking around i find an app that was make for windows 95 it worked on windows 7 also

    What it does it that it runs your saversaved as wallpapers

    link to app here

    i have worked out if you go

    task manager > processes > then close scrPaper.exe
    that will close the box but leave the background running
    (stop background to go processes then find (name of screensaver).scr

    There is only one problem with this.. it hides all your desktop icons anyone have an idea how to fix this??

    you don't have to use any apps, windows can do this without any downloading involved. :)

    yeah, just keep them hidden. i create a folder called desktop shortcuts, place shortcuts to my most used apps in it and place either on the taskbar, a dock, or as i currently have it in a winstep workself tab.

    recycle bin, doc's, control panel, network, computer, ie8, firefox, and outlook shortcuts are on the nexus dock.

    i keep the taskbar, shelf, and dock on auto hide so if i am doing nothing all i see is my wallpaper.

    just open a command prompt and paste in "mystify.scr /p65552" without the speach-marks.
    you don't even need that app.

    if you make a bat file shortcut with the command you won't have to remember what to type....

    Code:
    @echo off
    mystify.scr /p65552

    Iconoid will do that for you. 32 bit works fine. 64 bit works fine for hiding icons and task bar based on cursor position and idle timeout.
