Command Line for Screensaver Mode not working

#1

Post by peter1969 » Fri Jun 28, 2013 1:33 pm

Hello Guys!

In Windows 7 I installed "Screen Launcher 1.0". It's a screensaver that launches a program or file.

In the config, I set it to run "C:\Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe /screensaver". So I could run the WMC screensaver as a systemwide screensaver.

The same procedure in Windows 8 only opens WMC but not the screensaver.

My question is: What is the Media Center command-line for the Screensaver in Windows 8 ??

Thanks for help! :thumbup:

Looks like it is ehshell.exe /screensaver.

Is that different front the ehshell.exe /screensaver that he said he already tried and that doesn't seem to work in Win8?

Oops,didn't see that.
Just got up when I posted.
As far as I know,the media center files are the same from windows 7 and windows 8.
Windows 8 has increased security that may be blocking it from running.
