In 98 (or95) Is there a key stroke or other way to enable your screen saver with out waiting for the timer?

There are more programs can add Hot Spot to the screen
I recommend a program Hagai's Screen Saver Loader
at
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Station/4373/Programs/HagSLoad.zip

After porgram installed It will run background.
When you move mouse pointer to up right conner or
task bar Screen Saver will run automically.

In case you don't know where your screensaver exe file is, you can do a search for "*.scr" (make sure you use the *) then right click on the one you want and choose "create shortcut", a message should pop up saying you cannot create a shortcut here, would you like to create it on the desktop, click yes and you have it. Also you can do more then one if you want a choice.
in terms of key stroke (no mouse movements) i would advise making a shortcut to the program then rightclick on it to access it properties.

next go to the shortcut tab and then assign some key strokes under hotkey or shortcut or something. something along the lines of 'ctrl-s' or similar. rightclick on that area for help if needed.

where is my mind, I was thinking he just wanted a quick way to start the screensaver and I forgot about setting up a "hot key" to use the keyboard, if that is the way he wants to go then I guess the points are yours
