We use a Windows 2000-based dental software in our office,
and we are concerned because patients can view the
schedule in the rooms they are sitting in. I know you can
decrease the time to one minute before the screensaver
will kick in, but is there any way you can set it such
that the operator can simply press one key to activate the
screensaver (and thus block out the schedule)?? We don't
want to have to get into entering passwords each time.
Just a "hoy key" or something that they can activate and
de-activate the screensaver.
  Thanks in advance.
