What is a SCR File Type?

The screen savers were created at the origin to prevent CRT and plasma screens from burning, a situation that occurs when the screen shows the same image for too long. While most modern screens are not burnt, they are always used for security purposes (to hide a user; to require a login before returning to work) and to show a user style.
