SCR Opens Settings Instead

Looking for clues - running the file gPhotoShow64.scr located in the Windows folder used to start the screensaver. It now opens the gPhotoshow settings dialogue

If the double-click action for `.scr` files is set to "Configure." You can change this to "Open" (which runs the screensaver) by making a small edit in the Windows Registry.

**Warning:** Editing the registry can be risky. Please follow these steps carefully. This particular change is simple and easily reversible.

1. **Open the Registry Editor**:

* Press the `Win + R` keys on your keyboard to open the "Run" dialog box.
* Type `regedit` and press **Enter**.
* If prompted by User Account Control (UAC), click **Yes**.

2. **Navigate to the Correct Key**:

* In the address bar at the top of the Registry Editor, copy and paste the following path, then press **Enter**:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scrfile\shell

3. **Modify the Default Value**:

* In the right-hand pane, you will see a value named `(Default)`. Its data will likely be set to `config`.
* Double-click on the `(Default)` value.
* An "Edit String" window will appear. In the "Value data" field, change the text from `config` to `open`.
* Click **OK** to save the change.

4. **Close the Registry Editor**.

The change takes effect immediately. Now, when you double-click a `.scr` file, the screensaver will launch directly. To access the settings panel, you will need to right-click the file and choose **Configure**.
