Hi All!

Is it possible to permanently delete the screen savers
from XP? I can delete them thru explorer but they
automatically reappear!

I've had too many users password protect their screen
savers even though they're not supposed to, so in order to
avoid this problem I've always just deleted the .scr files
(in all previous versions of windows).

Help!
