The key between Ctr and Alt that has the window flying on it and the letter D as in Desktop will take you to your desktop. Right click on your desk top go to properties then screen saver then preview to get it to run.

I agree that it is usefull aswell so I hope this helps;
1.
Click the Start button, and then click Search.
2.
In the Search Companion window, click All file types.
3.
In the file name box, type *.scr
4.
In the Look in box, choose Local Hard Drives (C:) or the drive where you have system files stored on your computer.
5.
Click Search.
6.
You will see a list of screensavers in the results. Pick a screensaver you want. You can preview it by double-clicking it.
7.
Right click on the file, choose Send To, and then click Desktop (create shortcut).
To activate the screensaver, double-click the icon on your desktop or right click on the desktop icon for the screensaver and then clock on the Shortcut tab then click in the Shortcut key box and press Ctrl and Alt and S (or your own combination) at the same time to set it. Then press apply and hey presto.......there you have it! Hope this helps you!

i'm unsure the thank you to do this in case you're making use of the domicile windows default screensaver, yet once you're making use of an screensaver run from an executable, create a shortcut on your guy or woman pc to run the screensave and alter the shortcut so as that a single button e.g. F2 or something activates the shortcut. in any different case purely exchange the taskbar properties so as that your rapid-start up menu is seen, make valuable that the "prepare own pc" button is often seen (drag and drop from the record) then you definately can continuously click this icon and all your domicile windows will vanish.

To my knowledge there is no way to make your screen saver appear straight away at least not by two keys. But if you press Windows Key + L it will log you off and take to the User screen which is blue with a list of the users on your computer. If you password protect your profile you will need to re enter your password if not you just press Enter to get back to the screen you were using.
However if you are on webcam and do this your webcam will switch off though i assume this is the same with any screensaver time out.
Hope it works

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.healthboostpc.com
It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.
