Radsoft ScreenSaverControl

Radsoft ScreenSaverControl is a feather-light and portable application you can use to access and control your desktop screensaver seamlessly. It can count down time before activating it. The utility features intuitive options that can be tackled with ease by all sorts of users.

The entire tool's packed into a single .exe file that you can save to a custom directory on the disk or keep stored on a pen drive to seamlessly launch Radsoft ScreenSaverControl on any machine with as little effort as possible. It doesn't modify system registry settings or create files on the disk without your permission.

Once launched, the software utility gets integrated into the system tray, although it doesn't indicate this via visual or audio means. The currently selected screensaved can be enabled or disabled by left-clicking on the tray icon or by opening the context menu.

Several preset timers can be picked from this menu, ranging from one to fifteen minutes. Otherwise, you can specify a custom timeout until starting the screensaver automatically (up to 60 minutes).

The screensaver can be deployed on the spot for testing purposes, and its settings can be configured. New ones can be installed from SCR files available on local, removable or network locations.

The compact application consumed a minimal amount of CPU and RAM in our tests. It didn't hamper the computer's performance or cause OS stability issues. Because it runs silently in the systray, without showing any messages, it doesn't interrupt typical desktop activity.

Too bad that it doesn't offer support for creating global hotkeys to enable or disable screensavers, nor for integrating the app into the autostart sequence so that it runs by default every time you turn on your computer. Nonetheless, Radsoft ScreenSaverControl is practical and easy to use.
