Keyboard shortcut for screensaver

Create a shortcut to your screen saver (extension is *.scr, and the file should be located in the %systemroot%\system32 directory). Place the shortcut on your Desktop or in your Start Menu, then create a keyboard shortcut in the properties of that shortcut. This will only invoke the screen saver... if you have a password associated with the screen saver activation, you won't be prompted for the password if you exit the screensaver.
