However, I am now unable to click the screensaver option when personalizing my desktop. My OS is Vista 64-bit. If I delete this shortcut will that mess up the screen save all together? I don't want to make shortcuts for all the screensavers. I did this on my computer, and it worked great. However, I am now unable to click the screensaver option when personalizing my desktop.
