Your screen savers reside in C:\windows\system32 Anything you see with the extension .scr is a screensaver. When you download a new one it has an extension .exe which you run by clicking on the file and the installation takes place. Put you downloaded file in a temporary folder and once it is installed you can delete the setup.
