Screen Saver hotkey

[Geoffrey]

Happy Holidays to all....

I have a simple question for anyone who can help. Is
there anway in WinXP Professional to use a hotkey to
immediately launch the computer's screensaver feature?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes, create a shortcut to the SCR file, place the shortcut on your Desktop, or the Start Menu, then assign a hotkey combination to it. You can also copy the shortcut to your Quick Launch bar, and have single click activation.

OK Doug, I plead complete ignorance - where do I find "the SCR file?" I did a general search on my system and it doesn't turn up. The rest of your answer below looks great. Thanks
