How can I activate the aquarium?

I have the Aquarium 3 in 1 Limited Edition (just got it yesterday). Is there a way to activate the aquarium without resetting the time for the screensaver to turn on? I would love to be able to put the cursor in a corner or something like that to start the aquarium.

Thanks

Welcome to the forums! There's a paid program called HotCorners. Maybe you can find a free program that does the same thing.

If the object is just to start the aquarium in a more convenient way than actually resetting the time you could let the installation program create a shortcut on the desktop (and/or drag that one to the Quick Launch bar). Clicking it will launch the aquarium.

Right-clicking on the shortcut in the Start menu, choose Properties and enter a key-combo might also do the trick (though it will only work on shortcuts in the Start menu - not on the desktop).

I assume he/she means when the desktop, (ie, the icon), is covered up?

Then what's wrong with quicklaunch or hotkey?

I find that hard to believe. I would consider "more used to it" or something though.

I don't know! - Ask mclements, that's what he/she asked for.
Like the others, I'm just making a suggestion. ... I wish I hadn't!

Of course you did. But your "Quicker?" response warranted a reply which you got from Mike and you shouldn't feel to surprised about that.

All I did was do what Morgan had suggested. - I found a free one! - Right?
I posed the query, Quicker? - in response to your question.
Only mclements knows why he/she want's to launch the SS by moving the mouse pointer off the corner!
I don't see the need for all this questioning/disagreeing with someone's attempts to help.

Me neither. The problem with your reasoning is that two out of your four latest posts in this thread has ended in a question mark making you the one doing the majority of the questioning.

I can drop this now if you want to.

This is such a great forum. I'm glad we don't bicker at each other over the most meaningless crap.

Not really. My students are writing their exam right now and I am just standing up here trying to look busy.
