Did you know that screen savers are "executable programs?" They are; which means, you can create short cuts to them just like you'd create short cuts to other executable programs.

When you create the short cut, instead of looking for "Program files" look for files with the SCR extension (*.SCR). If you're using Windows 95, you'll find these files in C:\Windows\System (default directory) and if you're using Windows NT, you can find screen saver files under C:\WinNT\System32.

Now you can start your favorite screen saver just by double clicking on it's short cut without having to setup a default screen saver! Not only that, you can setup screen savers by right clicking on them and selecting "Configure."
