I am using Win XP and would like to get rid of some of the screensavers, but could not find where they are located. Does anyone know how I can delete these from my computer? Thanks.
 
They're normally in \windows\system32 I think.
 
Go to Windows Explorer and under your C Drive look in WINNT folder. They should be in there.

If you cannot find them there...Go to Display Properties/Screen Savers/ and find the name of the screen saver and then search for it. When you find it, check the path and then map to it. Once you find it you can delete it.

Hope that helps!
 
Wolluf is correct or you can search for *.scr and find them that way. CJ

Thanks....the WINNT folder had two folders INF and System 32 that had a subfolder Drivers and no screensavers were listed, but I was able to get to them by searching for *.scr. I appreciate your responses!
