OK... this is my first attempt at making a true addon....

I decided to try a screensaver addon first......(This screensaver is a little different from the norm...

It has 2 files for it.. 1 is a normal .scr file and the other is a .exe file) Both files need to go in the system32 dir....)

And this also requires a User Name and serial #...

I used Ricks Vista Screensavers addon as sort of a guide.....

I would like someone to check my .ini and .inf files and tell me if this looks ok....

I compressed both the .exe and .scr files inside CoralClock.cab

CoralClockSCR.inf

Please let me know if there is anything I need to change, or any suggestions you may have...

Thanks for your help on this. I really appreciate it...

OK lemme explain a little of what stuff does

This section tells windows setup what section the instructions to install are, so it will look for the [Coral Clock 3D Screensaver] and the [MyRegTweaks] section (Delete MyRegTweaks from this and rename the [MyRegTweaks] section Coral Clock 3D Screensaver, also copy the AddReg from it)

[Optional Components]

MyRegTweaks

Rename your .inf and .cab archive to be 8.3 filename compliant CoralClock.cab to CrlClock.cab or something

other than that it all looks good
