In windows 95 & 98 I was able to create an icon/tool bar button to
start the screen saver when ever I wanted. I would like to do that in
XP but I can't seem to find the correct app. or command combo. Can
anyone help??

To create a Screensaver shortcut:-
1. On a blank part of the Desktop, right-click>new>shortcut
2. Browse to your favorite .scr file (most likely in C:\Windows\system32 folder)
3. Select it
4. Click next
5. Name it and Finish.

Let me point out here to the newbies that if you see a file here in Usenet
attached to a post that ends in .SCR, it was posted by someone intent in
causing your computer harm & it will give you a virus if you start it up.

Only mess with .scr files already on your computer, or that you have gotten
and are absolutely sure they are screen saver files. Hopefully you have an
anti-virus program in place & looks at all files you download when you
download them.
