    So I have meself a simple little screen saver app that I made with a lot of help from articles here on codeproject and elsewhere (thanks goes out to all who post such articles and tutorials). I would like to enable this app to create custom screen savers from settings the user specifies. I need to figure out how I can have my application make a copy of itsself (or even another existing copy) with the user settings. But doesn't it need to be compiled? If someone could point me to a tutorial that might explain how to go about doing such a thing that would be great. Currently using VB .net 2003 -- modified at 14:04 Thursday 8th September, 2005

      If I have understood you correctly: You have a program that it is itself a screen saver, the user can chage the settings and you want to change the screen save using those settings. (if this is your problem) You do not need to create another copy of your program. You just need to save the settings and then load it at your program's startup. To do so, one easy way is to use the SaveSetting, LoadSetting functions. If your problem is something else, please clarify it more.

        Nope, nail on the head, er... Another case of the developer making things difficult for themselves. Thanks.
