Looking for screensaver in windows.old file

[spiper41]

I'm not looking for an old screensaver. I'm looking for one I downloaded about 3 weeks ago just before my computer crashed. I had to reinstall Windows 7 and was able to find all my data in the windows.old file. But I don't know how to find that screensaver. It must be there, but I can't figure out how to get to it.

Hello Spiper,

You could open the Windows.old folder, then do a search using *.scr to search for all .scr (screen saver) files in the folder. Hopefully it will be listed in the search results for you.

Or better still, if you remember the name of the screensaver then search for name.scr.

Well, that was pretty simple. There were a lot listed, just not the one I downloaded recently. I also searched for themes and there was nothing past 8/11. I guess the one I want is lost forever.

Can`t you remember where you downloaded it from ?

If you know the name of the screen saver, you might see if you may be able to find it again using Google.
