I recently created a screensaver using JourneyWare's ANYSAVER to launch the 
application.  My project is Authorware-based.  I've noticed my project, and 
another screen saver I downloaded (Jack Daniels, created in director, launched 
through some other tool) create the same problem.  When background tasks such 
as scan disk, compression tools or backup (1 or more?) come on during the 
night, problems start.  These can include finding over 100 open explorer 
windows on the desktop in the morning, finding the saver running underneith 
document windows, etc.

Is there some windows function/variable or call thingy that my screen saver 
should be shutting down for?

Is there a way to lower the task priority of my saver?

TIA,
