    Bring up screensaver instantly with a single click

    Hey guys!
    I have a kool trick for the one who don't want people to look on to the personal data... Student's don't blame me if you score less... When there is a screensaver running, people often think that computer has been idle since a long time... Well we can make people feel the same...! With this trick people will think you were studying and the computer has been untoched since a long time... This was what u used to do when i wouldn't feel like studying...!!

    All you have to do is :

    • Right-Click on task-bar and unlock it
    • Go to C:\Windows\System32\ and drag any screensaver [.scr format] that you like on the quick launch bar
    • Again right-click on the task-bar and lock it again
    • Now just click on the screensaver icon on the quick-launch bar to activate the screensaver whenever you want to


    Quite simple huh!?
    Enjoy...!

    Hey there!
    That was kool... But is there a shortcut to just lock the screen and not bring the screen saver? Cause i have to leave my desk a lot of time and have to go to a different location on my floor... If someone could help with this, would be really helpful...!

    Hey!
    I'm sorry but i have to idea about that... But if you have a password protected account you can log off and not shutdown... That will probably do the same thing but when you login back all the programs would load again... To avoid this you can click log off from start menu and then click on switch user... This will lock the screen on the logon screen with all your programs running...! How about that...! I don't know any shortcut for that though...!

    Hey...!
    That is the simplest trick i've ever come across [screensaver]. Thanks and to lock the screen you need to press wind key that is between Ctrl and Alt with "L" that is win+L and your screen will be locked...! just like locking with switch user option...! All the best...!!
