    I copy Myscr.scr to my webpage and upload an html for it :

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Untitled</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <a href= "/MyWeb/MyHtml/Myscr.scr "></a>
    </body>
    </html>

    The html will not load the .scr file.
    Why not ? I am baffled !
    regards

    .scr is a screensaver. Your browser doesn't know what sort of file it is, so it does nothing with it.
    What are you trying to achieve?

    I know it is a screensaver and that's why I posted the
    question.
    As far as I know, it's just an .exe with a .scr postscript.
    So what do I do in the html to get it displayed on my webpage ?
    regards

    Nothing. It cannot ever be displayed on the web page. Yje web browser cannot display a screensaver or an exe.

    If you want to link to the scr so people can download it then you must add text or image to your html link:


    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Untitled</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <a href= "/MyWeb/MyHtml/Myscr.scr ">CLICK HERE</a>
    </body>
    </html>
