Rob00GT Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) Back in the old days when I used Office 98 there was an office toolbar, and one of the optional buttons on it was one that activated the screen saver. Is there a way to add a button to the Windows XP quick launch bar (in other words a desktop icon) that will activate my screen saver? If it makes any difference I am using Office 2003, but it should be a Windows thing.FYI my screen saver is password protected and it just looks better than simply locking my desktop.Title Edited - Please follow new posting rules from now on.--Zxian Edited December 13, 2005 by Zxian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernelcored Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 try this. find your *.scr screensaver filename. drag it to your quicklaunch bar/make a shortcut to it.when you click on it, the screensaver should activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisO Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 And after you create a shortcut to it, you can also right click the icon, pick properties and set a short cut key (ex: CTRL + ALT + S)Of course why don't you just lock your machine?
