On Windows 98, take a look in c:\windows\system - you will find files like 3d flying objects.scr 3d pipes.scr baseball.scr blank screen.scr flying windows.scr and a bunch more. I don't think they are scripts because they are Windows executable with the usual "This program cannot be run in DOS mode." warning.
