Screen Savers Depot

How do i find subdirectory %windir%\System32 in Vista? - has to do with custom screensavers?

yeah so i found a cool screensaver online which i had previously downloaded for my old computer which had the XP operating system on it, so i just right-clicked on the desktop, went down to properties and did it in a snap, easily. but i don't know how to do it for Vista, so i found a site, here it is: http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista-general/102439-install-custom-screensaver.html the person said i need to copy my .scr file to the %windir%\System32 directory. i tried searching for it in the search bar located in the start menu but i didn't know what to do after that because there were like thousnads of file folders and i didn't want to mess anything up, like was i supposed to drop the .scr file into one of those or...? i tried looking for a filder that was called %windir%\System32 but did not see one, nor did one show up when i searched yet again in that window. if anyone knows and wouldn't mindhelping me out that would greatly be appreciated. :D thanks!!

1. %windir% is the Windows installation location, typically C:\WINDOWS, though typing %windir%\System32 into the run box should just open it up.
2. %windir% refers to a variable that defines the path location where Vista was installed, the typical value is c:\windows, so you are looking for c:\windows\System32 directory You could also use the run command to locate the directory indicated by any path variable, but first you need to add it to your start menu: 1. Click the Start button, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Personalization, and then click Taskbar and Start Menu. 2. Click the Start Menu tab, and then click Customize. 3. In the list of Start menu options, select the Run command check box, and then click OK. The Run command will be displayed on the right side of the Start menu. Now on the run command you could type any path variable, and windows explorer would open in the directory refer by the variable. FYI you could fine others paths variable http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/5878923a-cd89-48e6-a368-7ed071a9ed0e1033.mspx?mfr=true
