Can we display our own list of words like "volcano" in 3d text Screen Saver ?

I am sure it is possible by typing the words in notepad. 8 yrs. back I have done it. Now forgot.

Can anybody provide a solution ?

When you type "volcano" in the 3D text screen saver, the screen saver cycles through a list of active volcanos in the world. Are you looking for something similar?

Hello Dave01,

Exactly, When I type 'universe', I have to dsiplay Sun, Earth, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter,..... etc.

The technique which works on Win 2000 is given below, but will not work on windows 98

Open Registry Editor (File, Run, regedit).
Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Control Panel, Screen Saver.3DText. Click Edit, New, String Value.
Call it "Magic" (case sensitive), and enter "C:\3dtext.txt" as the value. Exit Registry Editor.
Create New Text File, in C:\, called "3dtext." In it, first put a dash, and then a word (no space). That word is important, so remember it. On a new line, put Words that you want to fade out and in:
i.e.
-Cool
I am Cool
Amin't I?
Goto Screen Saver Properties (Start>Settings>Control Panel>Display>Screen Saver). In the dialog for text, enter the word after the dash in the text file.
Create as many as these as you want, by creating another word with dash:
i.e.
-Cool
I am Cool
Amin't I?
-So Cool
I am so Cool
I are too!
When the text for the screensaver is "Cool," I am cool, and Amin't I will be displayed.
