CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This single-function freeware instantly runs your screensaver, but it lacks hot key features.
SD Screen Saver's interface is boring, yet straightforward for setting the hot spot location of the program (Up Left, Up Right, Down Left, Down Right). Hovering the mouse over the hot spot location instantly ran the screensaver during testing. SD Screen Saver also lets you password-protect your screensaver for more privacy.
The program would be better if hot key options were included as an alternative to mouseover functionality, a feature commonly found in similar applications. When not in use, the program sits silently in the background and doesn't consume many of your system resources. Shortcomings notwithstanding, any user looking for a quick way to launch a screensaver may find this freeware handy.

Version: SD Screen Saver Launcher 1.1
"Works great, but needs to be be hidden better."
Pros: Works like a charm. It's fast, light, and non-intrusive. Works just like the After Dark Screen Saver Collection manager from 20 years ago. On Windows 3.1... =-)
Cons: 1) It needs to hide the the "balloon tip" that says "SDScreenSaverLauncher" that becomes superimposed on top of the screen saver.
2) It need to hide the "SD" icon that shows up on the ALT+Tab dialog.Summary: Except for the two cons listed above, this is exactly what a Windows freeware utility should be. Tiny, unobtrusive, no nag screens or ads. Me likey.
