    Dear All,


    Require help for create .scr file to deploy screen saver through GPO.


    We have multiple JPEG file that need to apply as screen saver but for applying screen saver through GPO, the file should be in .SCR format.

    How do i change the file association for SCR files


    Hi,
    I use files with an SCR extension to store text data. For me SCR means script.

    I would like it so that when I double-click on this file, that it opens with notepad (or something similar).
    But this file is registered as a screen saver. And I cannot change the file association.

    I have tried "Associate a file type or protocol with a program". I can select NOTEPAD but the "Current application" remains as "Unknown application". And in my folders, the file type remains "Screen saver". So this option does not work.

    I have also tried adjusting the registry entry regarding "scr" files. Or removing the registry entry. Neither works.
    And I also don't get the "right click / open with" option.

    So how do I change the file association of scr files? any suggestions?

    Thanks

    screen saver

    Hi Annicat

    Currently no such shortcut exists in Windows 10.

    Here is an alternative:

    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

    Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.

    Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).

    Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).

    Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut).

    I hope this information is helpful.

    This thread has some other recommendations too:
