Activating the screen saver Manually

Question

I have Windows XP, I just upgraded from Office XP to Office 2003.  With 2003 you loose the office shortcut  bar which had an icon to active the screen saver.  How can I active the screen saver manually without waiting for the timeout activation?

srscherr,

Find the screensaver file you are using in Windows\system32. Go to Search|All files and folders and look for *.scr. Right-click it and select Send to|Desktop (Create shortcut). To activate your screensaver, double-click the desktop icon.

Do you mean that Office 2003 no longer provides an office tool bar, or just that the short cut is missing?

That did it.  Thank you very much.

Office 2003 no longer has it.  I got my answer, thanks.

The quick launch bar replaces the Office shortcut bar in 2003. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;830180
