A screensaver is a normal application which normally has a Window. For 
most screensaver the window fills the screen and is black (yep, that's 
simply a stay-on-top window painted in black). In that case, simply send 
it a close message. Of course I understand that finding that exact 
window is the hard part.

Some screensavers, in particular those using OpenGL or DirectX, might 
not have a window at all.

Hope this helps
Tom :)
