Hello
I've tried to run a screen saver (with standby) by doing what I've always done with other things:
system('C:/WINDOWS/system32/scrnsave.scr'); But from some reason it runs the "options" of that screen saver instead.

I figured that the double click runs it, because of the default defined in some os level,
so I've right-clicked it and saw the default (bolded)option was "Test" os I tried to access that by:
system('C:/WINDOWS/system32/scrnsave.scr','Test'); system('Test','C:/WINDOWS/system32/scrnsave.scr'); system('C:/WINDOWS/system32/scrnsave.scr','test'); system('test','C:/WINDOWS/system32/scrnsave.scr');
All 4 failed.
So just to cover my bases I tried:
system('C:/WINDOWS/system32/scrnsave.scr','Run'); system('Run','C:/WINDOWS/system32/scrnsave.scr'); system('C:/WINDOWS/system32/scrnsave.scr','run'); system('run','C:/WINDOWS/system32/scrnsave.scr');
Again all failed.

Please help
Thx
