IDEA: fake timer to activate screensaving
Curt:
I can press Ctrl+Shift+S, and the Webshots screensaver will start, no matter what screensaver is default, but almost none of the other screensavers I am using have such a hotkey feature, if any. And I use quite a number of different screensavers, so I am not asking for merely a hotkey to some screensaver. I was thinking that maybe someone can write a little something that will fake Windows' timer into thinking that the time is up - so when I press this (new) hotkey Windows will think that X (seven) minutes have passed without actions, and start the screensaver. Can this be done?
:tellme:
Edited:
I believe that fifteen years ago this feature was standard on Windows, hence the button "Pause".

Nircmd can start the screensaver on demand.
Thus, what's the hotkey you were thinking?
Wouldn't a shortcut on the desktop be better?

Yes, of course, but if it is that simple why did'nt anyone tell it to me before? Well, I didn't read the right post, I guess. :-\
Yes, please, jgpaiva! :)

Quick Start area
jgpaiva:
Just download nircmd, and create a shortcut to it! Then, go to its properties and add "screensaver" (without the quotes) to the target ;)
