Screen power is a tray app program for WIN95-98-NT that allows
fast and easy one-click:
- access (run/configure) to your screensavers
- temporarily DISABLE your default screensaver (very useful when you are running time critical applications like Backup - Burning CD-ROMs - Disk tools - MPEG movie viewing and a lot of other programs. Dont let your screen saver slow down your programs or ruin a CD-ROM burning)
- shutdown, reboot, log-off, force shutdown, go in standby mode
- hide/disable: desktop icons, start button, taskbar buttons, system keys (like ALT+TAB)
