not that i know of a quick way there is'nt, i might be wrong so i'll let
somebody else answer the rest of the post, there is a way to do it like a
shortcut if you want to get your hands dirty. find out where the
screensavers are storied i.e c:\windows\system32, you need to goto into view
on the top of the screen then folder & turn off hide known file extensions
or something like that and find the screensaver you want to add a key
combination (the screen savers all end in .scr. right mouse click send it to
the desktop or where u want to store it as a shortcut, goto the shortcut of
the screensaver, right mouse, properties, then shortcut, shortcut key, you
can only use crtl+alt+ a key or your choice then apply then you can test it
out, hope that helps

I can do everything but enter the
Shortcut key.
There is "none" in the box but it wont
let me
erase it to enter a key combination.

Thanks for answering.

Well, you are 90% there! When you want to make a key combination, just
hit the third key. "Ctrl + Alt" will appear as if by magic. No need to
ease anything.

Yes. Just entering the third key works.
Thanks for the magic incantation.
