1. They are most likely in one of your download folders if not in your windows/system32 folder. Screen savers usually have the extension .scr, so do a search for all of your screen savers with that extension, put this in the search criteria, *.scr . OR go back to the site from where you originally got the screen savers and select one, right click, go to properties and look for the name of that particular screen saver. Then go back and do a search on your c:/ drive for that same name or partial name and you should come up with the location. Good Luck.
