DisplayFusion RSS: Hotkey Screensaver activation

The screen savers actually need to be launched via DFSSaver.scr. Try this out instead:

@START /WAIT /MIN /LOW "C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DFSSaver.scr" /s

Hope that helps!

Excellent, I'm glad to hear you found an easy way.

I found a way to do this.

Make a file with notepad called screensave.cmd:

@START /WAIT /MIN /LOW %SystemRoot%\system32\scrnsave.scr /s

Then make a shortcut to that cmd file and assign a keyboard shortcut to it with the shortcut tab in Windows Vista or 7. Simple and effective.

Thanks for your response.

I can't promise that this feature will make it into DisplayFusion, but a Google search turned up this free application:

I haven't personally used it, but it says it will do exactly what you need.

Hotkey Screensaver activation

Recent convert from Ultramon here and the only thing I miss is:

I used to have a hotkey set to activate a screen saver. Since I used autocad and it messes up the .scr filename association it was the only way I could activate it without waiting for the system to timeout.

Any chances that feature could be added?
