Screen Saver Prefs.

[Jay42]

I like to leave my PowerBook on a random screen saver, but I don't like certain screen savers in the list on the left side. Is there anyway to remove them from the list, but not delete them permanently? Can I change their directory so they don't show up? Basically I want it to select a screen saver at random from the ones I like, not all of them. Thanks.

Okay, I found the folder in the system library with the Apple screen savers. I am worried about moving them, and it won't let me make a new folder. What would be the best thing too do?

Copy the good ones into a new folder elsewhere (somewhere that allows you to make one like Documents) and then run it all from that folder?

Well, the problem is that the Screen Saver pref. panel looks in a specific directory (HD>Library>Screen Savers) so if I move the ones I want, I'll only be left with the bad ones. I think I'm gonna try moving the bad ones to a new folder somewhere in my home directory where I can save them, but they don't show up in the list. I'll let you know if its possible to have a custom list in the pref. pane without deleting anything.

Down the bottom of my settings there's a Choose Folder section that should let you use any folder.
