If you meant, how do you install screensavers, then you usually just run a *.exe and it installs it, other than that, you can extract the *.scr to C:/Windows.


RE: Screensaver by Nathan on 06-28-2005 at 06:57 AM

Ok,
I mean Something like this...
Hold Ctrl + a, Like a combination to make the screensaver appear on the screen.
Sorry about making it sound like gobbly gook.

As far as I know dude, there isn't one sorry, unless of course they're using a third party application to do it for them.


RE: Screensaver by Nathan on 06-28-2005 at 07:02 AM

Oh,
It's just that I've seen like buiseness compaines with them.
They click spacebar when no windows are open and it makes the screenaver come on!
I just thought there was away to do it but there might not be :'(


RE: Screensaver by user27089 on 06-28-2005 at 07:03 AM

Are you sure it's not a feature of their operating systems, and it locks down their stations and only they can open it?

Places do that a lot now-a-days.

Check out this..if it works with a screen saver.. I have not tried it..


To specify shortcut keys for specific programs
Before beginning this procedure, please refer to the documentation that came with the program to verify a shortcut was installed.

Open My Computer.
Locate the program file (.exe) or the program's shortcut icon. Right-click the program file or shortcut, and then click Properties.
Click the Program tab for an MS-DOS program or the Shortcut tab for a Windows program.
With the cursor in the Shortcut key box, select the keyboard key you want to use in combination with CTRL+ALT. Shortcut keys automatically start with CTRL+ALT. The Shortcut key box will display None until you select the key and then the box will display Ctrl+Alt+the key you selected. You cannot use the ESC, ENTER, TAB, SPACEBAR, PRINT SCREEN, SHIFT, or BACKSPACE keys.
Notes

To open My Computer, double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop.
Once you assign a shortcut key combination for a specific program, you will not be able to use that key combination with other programs. For a list of shortcut keys used by this version of Windows, click Related Topics.
If you forget the key combination for your shortcut, you can follow steps 2 through 3 and review your shortcut keys.
Using shortcut keys to open programs can often be simpler than opening programs using a pointing device, especially when working on portable computers.
