ADDING A SCREEN SAVER TO THE DESKTOP


If you like to be able to access your screen saver directly, without waiting a certain number of minutes for it to kick in, you can add a shortcut to it on the desktop.

Go to your Windows folder on your C: drive and find the screen saver of your choice. (A quick way to locate the screen savers is to open the System subfolder, choose View|Details, then click the Type column to group all the Screen Saver files together.) Right-click it and choose Send To, Desktop (Create Shortcut). If prompted to confirm your action, click OK.

A shortcut to your screen saver will appear on your desktop. You can launch this screen saver at any time simply by double-clicking on this shortcut icon.
