Create A Screensaver Shortcut
For those who deal with highly confidential information, privacy can become a major concern. You can save your work from prying eyes by creating a shortcut key that will activate your screensaver immediately. To do so you must first create a shortcut to your current screensaver on your desktop.     Right-click on your desktop and select New/Shortcut. Next, click on the Browse button and under the Files of type list select All Files. Locate the .SCR file in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder that corresponds to your current screen saver and click Open. Finally, click on the Next button, accept the default name for the shortcut, and click Finish.	In order to create a keyboard shortcut, right-click the screen saver icon on your desktop, select Properties and click the Shortcut tab. Place your cursor in the Shortcut key text box and type the letter that you would like associated with this shortcut. Windows 95 will automatically place a [Ctrl] + [Alt] in front of the letter.     Finally, select the Apply button and then the OK button. You may now immediately activate your screen saver at any time by using the keyboard shortcut or by double clicking on the shortcut on your desktop.
