View Full Version : Fast way to activate screen saver without having to change screen saver option


May 4th 04, 01:29 AM
I want to be able to click an icon or button and it will
trigger the screensaver to kick in with password
protection. I have tried adding a shortcut of the
screensaver to my desktop but clicking it willonly
display the screensaver but doesn't require the password
to get back into the system. Sometimes I will step away
for a little bit but I don't want to constantly change
the wait time for special occasions.

why use a screen saver?
Press WINDOWSKEY and L
and you will see the welcome screen, if you have entered a password to your
account then it will need that password to get back in.
if you have no password, then add one, and use TWEAK UI xp to make your
account auto log in when you boot.
