Google quietly released a great screensaver along with the release of the Google Pack but not all of us find it practical to install the pack espcially if we are only interested in getting certain parts of it.

We decided to release the Google Photos Screensaver as a standalone file which people can install and use in a few simple steps:

1. Download GPhotos Screensaver (kindly do not hot link the download URL)

2. Go to the “C:\WINDOWS\system32″ directory

3. Put GPhotos.scr into that folder.

Simple as that, now you can configure your custom photo feeds that you want to display as your screensaver.
