As I frequently turn my screen saver off and on, I would like to create a
shortcut directly to the Screen Saver Applet in Control Panel. I have
managed to make one to Personalization, This is not what I want, I would
like one click access to Screen Saver, Is this possible?

TIA
Wayne

Create a shortcut to this target line:

rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,1

You can change the digit at the end if it doesn't open the tab you want,
for example:

rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,0
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl,,2

and so on.
