Just a point of order here. Screen savers (.scr files) are executables;
they are just handled slightly different. If you rename a ".scr" file
to be a ".exe" and run it, it will display the config options. If you
run it from a command prompt with the "/s" option, it will run the
screen saver part of the program.
