Remove Screen Savers

I have a Dimension 8100 I am using windows me . I was wondering if any one could tell me how to get rid of screen savers with no uninstall? These screen savers do not show up in the add & remove programs or have a uninstall.The only way I have gotten rid of them in the past is to restore to an earlier date . But there has to be a better way.This has been bugging me for quit some time, any input would be greatly appreaciated.
Thank you very much!

    To turn off your Screen Saver:
    Right Click in an unused area of your Desktop.
    Select Properties from the drop down menu.
    Select the Screen Saver Tab.
    Select 'None'. Apply. OK

    To delete specific Screen Savers:
    Go to Start\Find>Files and Folders.
    Type in **.scr
    Look in 'My Computer'.
    Click 'Find Now'.
    Locate the Screen Saver you want to delete
    from the list.
    Right Click and select Delete.
