Rogue Process Management won't work with screen savers

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Updated: 1 Jan 2005

Q:
I'm struggling to get Rogue Process Management to work with screen savers (.scr files). I can't seem to put them in the exception list. Is there a trick I'm missing?

A:
Yes, there's a bit of a gotcha at work here. Rogue Process Management keys off of the original file name and not necessarily the process id. For Screen Savers this can be found by right clicking on the .scr file, properties, version, Original File name. Here you will see that the original file name for .scr files does not have the .scr extension. So to make screen savers part of the Rogue Process List, the extension will need to be dropped. Example: "ssstar.scr" would be listed as just "ssstar" in the exception lists.
