Re:mcrider. Thanks to you. But I want to know how to install "me.scr" in my PC without using Display Properties dialog box of Window (Customise my Desktop menu).
Im not looking for how to create Screen Saver App in VB. Just looking for some source code that automatically install "me.scr" into the system.(That code allows me setting the waiting time for active "me.scr")
Re:Eric37. Could you tell me more detail? I've never been using Package and Deployment Wizard for install Screen Saver App. Thanks.

Sounds a little viral? Does the user have any interaction as to whether they want to do this?
The reason I told you to read the references...
Quotes from references:
"* In the File Make EXE File dialog, specify the program file name extension as .SCR instead of .EXE."
"* Locate the .SCR program file in the \WINDOWS directory."
"Screen savers are selected and configured from Windows Control Panel in the Desktop dialog."
You never mentioned in your question that you wanted to "force" a user to use your screensaver...
That is a completely different question from what you asked. I tend to agree with MoMarvi, this sounds way too viral...
Cheers!

I don't agree with forcing anything on a user... EVER!
Now with that said, you can modify the SYSTEM.INI entry:
SCRNSAVE.EXE=C:\WINDOWS\wh
Cheers!
