wine users - Feb 2006 - screensavers in general

Hi,

I tried some windows screensavers with Wine.
Most screensavers start with the configuration screen without a possibility to
start the main
screensaver part.
It's the same thing when I rename a screensaver file from
'somewhat.scr' to 'somewhat.exe' and
try to run it with a doubleclick on my Windows 2000 PC. (*.scr: the screensaver
starts, *.exe: the configuration screen appears)
Windows seems to handle the same file slightly different when it's named
'*.scr' instead of '*.exe'
Maybe an argument or parameter?

My question is can Wine somehow start the main screensaver part of an *.scr file
instead of the
configuration screen? Maybe with some kind of argument?
I found no hint about that in the Wine Wiki screensavers article.

Try:

wine <screensaver>.scr /s

Rein.

I figured out and someone told me that you have to use the argument
'-scr' or
'/s' for most screensavers to start in screensaver mode.
e.g.: wine xyz.scr -scr

I added that to the Wine Wiki screensaver article.
