I was wondering if there is a way to trigger the screen saver to come on anytime without having to wait for the amount of time set to. I want to use this feature so that I can apply the password protected on and have the screen saver on when I leave my computer. Thank you to anyone who replies my post.

Sure. Put a link to a .scr file on your desktop and double-click it when you leave your computer.
