Can I configure a hot-key for the Windows screen saver?

[mshan]

Within Windows XP Home, is it possible to create a keyboard hot-key to immediately start the screen saver with Windows?

If so, how?

EDIT: just found Hot Key Plus. Will this do what I want and anyone know if it's stable and bug free?

Downloaded and installed the program.

Initial impression is that it seems to toggle the Windows screensaver quite nicely.

Hi, Screen savers are just XXX.EXE programs in disguise. They, XXX.SCR, can be run by any method that will run an XXX.EXE, COM or etc. Jim

press 'r'

Make a shortcut to your screensaver then go into the properties of the shortcut and set a "shorcut key".

Is there not a hotkey within windows that does this?
