Some time back in an early version of Windows, I was able to create a
shortcut to the .exe that started the screen saver. What is the name of
that .exe file and where is now located? Will this still work? Is there
another way to do this?

Thanks,

I found the .scr file and created a shortcut and it executes just fine. The
only thing that doesn't work is to be prompted for id & password on resume.
Yes it is set up that way in Personalize and if you check the properties of
the shortcut>settings, you cannot adjust any settings. Please help to
resolve this. Thanks in advance.

Try the following.
In the Screen Saver control window select the screen saver you want to use.
Check the box to display the logon on resume. Then use your shortcut to
start the screen saver.

I have completed that. What happens is the screen saver works as a preview
only. As soon as you use move the mouse or hit a key, the screen saver
disappears and all is normal. Any ideas?

Did you click on "Apply" before you closed the screen saver window?
