Solved Where should screen savers be located?

[Alejandro85]

Just a simple question here. What system location should new screen savers be saved?
If I have separate .scr files, I end up putting them in system32 (or syswow64 according to its bitness), but is it a good practice? Is there any other location to put these files and still be recognized by the control panel as the built in ones?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have no idea but dug up these tutorials to see :/

You seem to be referring to screen savers instead of themes though ?

Thanks, but yeah, I was talking about just the screen savers (the .scr files only), not the whole theme.
But it's nice to discover a somewhat hidden feature (the "regional" themes) in the process
Yet one more source of bloat and a few nice pictures.

Hi,
Yep I asked Bongo to take a look at this although you've been moved to Customizations he's our expert in this area and many more areas

That is the right location, and you are doing it right by bitness.

Ok, thanks!
I wanted that there was a location under the user profile, but on system is fine is there isn't an alternative, thanks!
