i had changed the extension of my build application from .exe to .scr, and
copy it into the system32 directory. But I am not able to use use it as a screen saver on my computer. How to do this

coding for form1.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace screensaver
{
	public partial class Form1 : Form
	{
		public Form1()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
		}

		private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			Bounds = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds;
			Cursor.Hide();
			TopMost = true;
  
		}

		private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
		{
			Application.Exit();
		}

		private void Form1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			Application.Exit();
		}

	


	}
}
 

coding for program.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace screensaver
{
	static class Program
	{
		/// <summary>
		/// The main entry point for the application.
		/// </summary>
		[STAThread]
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			if (args.Length > 0)
			{
				if (args[0].ToLower().Trim().Substring(0, 2) == "s")
				{

					Application.EnableVisualStyles();
					Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
					Application.Run(new Form1());

				}
				else if (args[0].ToLower().Trim().Substring(0, 2) == "p")
				{

				}
				else if (args[0].ToLower().Trim().Substring(0, 2) == "c")
				{
					MessageBox.Show("the screensaver has no option ", "my screen saver", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);

				}
			}
			else
			{
				Application.EnableVisualStyles();
				Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
				Application.Run(new Form1());


			}

			
			
			
		   
		}
	}
}

the application is running properly but when I select screen saver tab the name of my screen saver application is not shown in the list box. What to do then.

Let your file name is My.exe
then dont just rename it using explorer use dos command

REN My.exe My.scr
