Manually Launching the Screensaver Selected in Display Properties

[=AirCeej=]

To whom:

I need the ability in Office Pro 2003 to launch whatever screensaver is
selected in Display Properties - through an icon - and have it password
protected while it’s running. I was able to do this in Office Pro 2002
through the ‘Screensaver Icon’, but am not sure how to get this same function
in 2003; any suggestions?

Thank you,
AirCeej

If your objective is to password protect your running user account, why not
just press the Windows key + L? That locks your account, requiring a
password to get back in. Just let the screensaver come on when it will.

I will say there may be a conflict between Win+L and setting your
screensaver to require a password. I got out of memory errors when running
both, so I turned off the screensaver password requirement. Win+L works fine.
