Changing .exe to .scr - Dayna - Sep 13, 2016

Hi guys just a quick question, when changing the extension .exe to .scr does it still execute the same way?

Thank you

Indeed it does, all you have to do is change the extension.

any ideas why my icon no longer shows when it is .scr


* - klonepal - Sep 14, 2016

Your icon changes because its not an executable soft. Change the name extension to .exe and you will see the icon.

so it isnt possible to have .scr with an icon?

why scr?
scr is a screensaver extension..

because thats the only thing i can change my .exe to where it will still execute
