StartScreenSaver is a simple little program to start your screensaver manually. There are 2 versions to choose from: StartScreenSaver is meant to be placed in the QuickLaunch toolbar for easy access, but does not have to be; StartScreenSaver (Tray Ed.) places an icon in the system tray instead of starting the screensaver immediately. By double-clicking this icon, you can manually start the screensaver. A shortcut to this program may be added to the 'Startup' folder in your start menu to make this program run every time you start your computer. That way you can always have easy access to manual activation of the screensaver without cluttering your QuickLaunch toolbar.
