Hi.
I wanna know how to make my screensavers work outside the windows-folder. (Because, my screensaver are reading info from .tga files, and it seems that my screensaver.scr cant read them while they are inside the windows folder.
If you have any good advice on how to get this work, i'm listening!

correct me if I'm wrong, but the "working" folder will be the windows directory anyway?? So if you're loading images, you're going to have to do something smarter than use relative paths.
I think I have several options, and I dont have a clue how to do any of them. (I have tried the MSDN).
1. To register the screensaver in registry, so that it can run without working inside the windows directory.
2. To include the images into the exefile, load them into memory, and read from memory instead of files.
Can anyone help me doing one of those?

There should be a registry key somewhere, in something like HKEY_USER I would suspect, that relates to what screensaver it will load when the timeout value has been reached. What they key is I have no clue, but it's somewhere around there I"m sure.
