Is there a shortcut to screensaver?

I'd like to put a shortcut to "right click on desktop" "properties"
"screensaver" "preview," or any command that just turns on the screensaver.

Is there any such programming?

Thanks,
Karl

That's no problem; just pick the screensaver you want to launch and make a
shortcut to it's .scr file. They are located in your Windows/System32
directory. To see a listing of them open a command prompt in that directory
and type "dir *.scr"

Thanks. I wonder why if I do a search on *.scr on my entire hard drive, no
..scr files show up?

Hi

Several screensavers are installed as default and should show up in a search
via Windows Explorer. Copies of those screensavers are normally kept in the
%systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder. Try the search from a command
prompt:

cd\
dir *.scr /a/s

Thanks everyone.

I found the box to check, hidden folders.

No, but they are in a system folder, and it is also hidden by default.
