SaverNow 2.4

SaverNow is a screensaver utility that can help you control your screen savers easilly.

To install SaverNow, Double-Click the setup file. This will start a Setup Wizard that will guide you through the simple installation process.

Here are some key features of "SaverNow":

· Running as an icon in the system tray, it is designed to be simple to use through a popup menu interface for quick screen saver control.
· It is extremely convenient for instantly firing up a password-protected screen saver, so that your computer remains protected from prying eyes every time you leave your seat.
· SaverNow runs on all Windows platforms (95/98/ME/2K/XP), and is reported to handle some (older?) screen savers that some versions of Windows itself doesn't let you use!
· Instant access to all standard screen saver settings (enable/disable, password, timeout, etc.).
· You can manage and organize your installed screen savers with greater ease by installing them in separate folders. Unlike Windows itself, SaverNow lets you choose screen savers from any folder you want, in addition to the default Windows system folders.
· You can select a screen saver manually, or have a random screen saver activated every time you leave your computer.
· Simply click the SaverNow icon on the system tray (near the clock on the task bar) to activate the current screen saver, double-click it to enable/disable the saver, or click the right mouse button on the icon for an options menu. (Note: these are the default click actions, and can be changed through the Settings menu.)
· You can have this random selection done immediately, every time the SaverNow icon is double-clicked, every time SaverNow is loaded, or you can even have a random saver activated by Windows each time you leave your computer. Enable these features in the Settings menu.
· You can change the screen saver settings for the Windows logon screen, known in Windows XP as the 'Welcome screen'. This screen is shown on some Windows versions when Windows first starts up, or when a screen saver is activated with password protection enabled.
· You can disable the screen saver for a given time period, thus preventing it from interfering with other running applications (such as CD burning software, presentations, etc.)
· Screen saver actions (activate, enable/disable, etc.) can be configured to run instantly when the tray icon is clicked, or when the mouse cursor is moved into one of the screen corners.
· Screen saver can be activated at any time using a configurable hotkey.
· Monitor power modes can be activated as well - You can instantly bring your monitor into standby/suspend/off mode to save power.
· The SaverNow icon ToolTip shows the current screen saver. Rest your mouse on the icon for a second to see it.
· Screen saver functionality can be controlled from the command line (command prompt) as well.
· It's totally free!
