Hi~ I am now having a question on my screensaver in WinXP. If I want to manually active my screensaver, does it have any hotkey to start the screensaver? Sometimes I don't want to idle the system for a long time, but I need to set a password lock on my computer. So I think that screensaver lock is the best way. But I cannot start the screensaver manually. Any one can help me? Thanks for help.

just do ctrl+alt+del and hit 'K' this will lock the machine you can also create a shortcut to the screensaver file and then double click that ;) MSI KT4AV-L AMD Athlon XP 2800 1Gb Crucial 3200 DDR 160Gb Seagate Barracuda ATI 256Mb 9600XT 16x DL DF DVD/RW 16x DVD ROM 9-in-1 Flash Media FDD

Thanks. I tried to click on the *.scr files, it had to run the screensaver, but the password lock haven't apply. And I press Ctrl+Alt+Del, it comes out a task manager, but it nothing happen after I pressed "K".

Lock my PC program. http://www.tomdownload.com/new_add/new20031130/lock_my_pc.htm

Free program. Tested it myself. It dost the same as lock my pc. but uses a matrix screen saver. http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/security/fwaccess.html Look for a program named Matrix Screen Locker

Same as above but look for System Lock tried it to.

I should tell you that having a Shortcut Key to activate Screensaver DOES NOT WORK. That is to say, if Screensaver password is check marked, and you bring up Screensaver that way, then password thing WILL NOT WORK until Display Properties setting times out. e.g.- My Display Properties is set for 10 min. I then activate Screensaver now. Then 10 min. later, the Display Properties Screensaver kicks-in, and now it is password protected. If you want quick locking, do Windows key + L
