I was changing my screensaver today and noticed that my "Computer Name" screensaver is gone? The entry now has a folder icon next to it and when I click on it a selection dialog comes up, presumably prompting me to find the screensaver? I don't know where it could have gone.

Any ideas on how to get it back?

Also, there is only a "Pictures Folder" screensaver option available now also. I can't select a custom folder to use as a screensaver anymore. where did that one go?

One last stupid question, is there a menu option or button or keyboard command do use to get rid of the inbox, outbox, etc. "drawer" in OS X mail?

thanks for your patience I am a new OS X user

Last question first:
The "Mailboxes" icon in the toolbar of Mail shows/hides the drawer. Alternately, look in Mail's "View" menu and you will see "Hide Mailboxes" (or "Show Mailboxes" .. depending on what is appropriate).

Not sure why or how your Computer Name saver got lost, but it is supposed to reside in:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ Computer Name.saver Look for it there.

Thanks- the mailbox button!

Strange thing- I looked in that directory and found the screensaver just where it is supposed to be! So I went back to system prefs and everything is normal now. I do believe I reset my machine due to a software update between when it was broken and when it was fixed. Wierd.
