Default Screensaver Button

Office XP had a toolbar with a button that activated the
currently active screensaver. I had made a shortcut to
this and dropped it in my quicklaunch toolbar. When I
upgraded to Office 2003, it disappeared. Is there any way
I can create a shortcut that will do this? I don't want
it to activate a specific screensaver (i know how to do
that, I want it to activate whatever screensaver is
specified in my desktop properties. Thanks ~ Phil

Thanks Doug but it didn't work. I now have an Office

Toolbar but no screensaver command on it.
Guess I'll try the Windows group.

thanks again

I created a desktop shortcut, its target is below, that opens the screen
saver I selected in my desktop properties.

"C:\Microsoft\Office XP\Office10\OSA.EXE" -s
