FreeWare: Diablotin will help also. No removal or terminal necessary.

Directly from the MacUpdate.com descritpion:

"Diablotin is a Preference pane which allows you to manage items which have been added to Mac OS X in the Library folders. The source code is also available."

You'll have to check the box that says "Show System Library Items" and authenticate before you can disable the ScreenSaver module, but it avoids terminal use and permanent damage.

Also allows for enabling/disabling of fonts, Internet plug-ins, iTunes plug-ins, Preference Panes, Quicktime components, sounds, and Startup Items.

I've used it on two machines, both 10.2.1, with no trouble. Nice interface, straight-forward usage. Definitely recommended.

Cute, but it only lets you disable the .Mac screen saver. You're still on your own for Computer Name and Pictures Folder.

I finally figured out how to kill the Pictures Folders and Computer name screensavers... log in as root (or do it all via terminal and SU)...

go to /system/library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources

create a new directory called whatever you want, I called mine NotUsed

move Computer Name.saver and Pictures Folder.saver to this folder

the next time you go into the Screen Savers preference pane it might flip out when it can't find the screensavers, but just close and open the preferences and they should be gone!

the only odd side effect is that it thinks "flurry" is a folder... but I still get the screen saver when I do random... so I'm not too concerned...
