screensaver shortcut
Right-click on your Desktop and select:
New Shortcut, then browse to the C:\Windows\System32 folder. Chose your desired screensaver, such as "sspipes.scr", click next and finish. My Pictures SlideShow would be "ssmypics.scr". -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Be Smart!

screensaver shortcut
Go to Folder Options in Control Panel and change to single-click.
You are correct.....there is no screensaver password protection when using a desktop shortcut to activate a screensaver. Screen Saver Is Not Password Protected If Started Manually http://support.microsoft.com/default...roduct=win2000 -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Be Smart!

screensaver shortcut
ok. I guess I need a shortcut that will switch to the
secure desktop with no time delay. This would also enable me to change the screensaver (in "display properties/screensaver") without also having to change the screensaver desktop shortcut. But how do I acheive this? -----Original Message----- Go to Folder Options in Control Panel and change to single-click.
