Quoted for simplicity.
I just purchased Screensaver Factory Pro, and by looking at some sample screensavers I noticed that when you press F2 while the screensaver runs, the current picture is set as the desktop background. Is there a way to disable that?

One more reason why I need F2 disabled:

- if I create a shareware version with a nag overlay screen, and press F2 while the screensaver runs, a clean full image is extracted and set as the desktop, and as mentioned before, saved to disk as a high-res image. A user could simply extract all images and create his own MS Windows slideshow screensaver with these images. A print screen would not work in that case since the nag overlay text would spoil the image.

I think this (F2 - set as desktop background) is a major flaw in the shareware creation process, it essentially nullifies it. It renders the software I just purchased useless....

Can I expect a quick fix for this?

thanks!
