I want to know if there is a shortcut key to enable the vg screensaver via shortcut and a way to lock it so it doesn't shut off until you want to shut it off.

Here is a neat Little trick you can use for VG version 6.01 and above to make the Screen Saver start.

Copy the following lines of text to Notepad.exe
REGEDIT4

; ECHO OFF
; CLS
; REGEDIT.EXE /S "%~f0"
; EXIT

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Totem\VGHD\Parameters]
"ScreenSaverStart"="1"

stop copy on the blank line above

Then File, Save AS
and type in the name "VGSS.bat" with the Quotes around it.

Save it to your Desktop so it's an Icon there.

With the VG "V black
Just Double click that New Desktop Icon and DON'T MOVE YOUR MOUSE.

The VG Screen Saver will start.


In the Pictures I show two Different Text Editors, so you can see exactly what you type. The 2nd pic I show Notepad and how to SAVE AS.
