How To Setup A Screensaver As A Desktop Background



 It works! And it's quite simple to do: Open “Start | All programs | Accessories | Command Prompt”. Using the “cd”(change directory) command, change to the "system32" folder within the Windows installation directory. Type the command ribbons.scr /p65552 and confirm it with [Enter]. The screen saver appears immediately as an eye-catching desktop background. All icons however disappear and the right mouse key is rendered ineffective with Vista. This is the price you pay for a peppy
background. On the other hand, this has an advantage since nobody can see the icons that you have stored on your desktop—especially interesting for presentations or training programs. You can use most of the Windows screensavers as desktop backgrounds thanks to the “/p65552” parameter. To terminate the animated desktop, open the Task Manager with [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Del] and click on the process with the same name. Select the relevant entry, “ribbon” in our example, in the “Applications” tab and click “End task”. A restart also stops the screensaver. You can also start the animated background by using a batch file—this is particularly helpful if it is to be used frequently and saves you from working with the archaic command Prompt. For this, type the command specified above—this time with the complete path specification for the SCR file—in a blank text document and save the file with the "BAT" extension. If you want to change the desktop during every restart, the best thing would be to create a shortcut to the BAT file in the “Start up” folder. For this, open “Start | All programs", right click "Start up” and select the “Open” context command. The Windows Explorer shows the folder contents. In the dialog, right click the empty background and select “New | Shortcut”. Search and mark the previously saved BAT file and click “Next”. On the following page, you can name the shortcut and “Finish”. Finally, right click the new shortcut once again and select “Properties”. In the “Link” register, select the “Minimize” entry under “Run”. Confirm with “OK”. NOTE: The desktop background and the screensaver can also be configured through the control panel. For this, open “Start | Control Panel” and click “Display and Adjustment”, “Adjustment” and Screensaver”. You can implement a slideshow as background without using any additional tools with “PhotoScreensaver.scr”, the “Photos” screensaver.
