This is one of my favorite tricks in which you can set almost any screen saver as your desktop background. This trick can help you for your Presentation purposes etc.So follow the simple steps below-
Open Command Prompt by going to Start|Run|cmd.exe.
1. Now type cd c:\windows\system32 (this will change the current directory to System32 folder where all screen savers are stored) 2. Type dir /s .scr (this will give you the list of all the screen savers present in the directory)
3. Suppose you want to set ribbons.scr as you desktop background type ribbons.scr /p65552 and hit enter. Screen Saver appears immediately as an eye catching desktop. The bad part is that all the desktop icons disappear and you can't move your mouse over the screen. To bring back your original wallpaper press ALT+CTRL+DEl and click on the process name same as your screen saver background and click on end task button.
If the above mentioned commands are hard and lengthy for you, you can use my batch script to carry out the same task with typing the commands. Just copy the script in notepad and save it anything.bat.Rembember that the file extension should be .bat
NOTE-The following script only works on WINDOWS 7.
@echo off
title ScreenSaVer as BackgrOund
