Hi Dwag,

Delete the corresponding .scr file from the C:\Windows\system32 folder.

Hi Rick,

It seems that the .scr files are protected from being deleted. When a file
is deleted, it simply reappears. Do you know of a solution to this ? Thanks

Hi,

See if there is a copy under C:\Windows\system32\dllcache and delete it
there first.
