Manual Start Screensaver via Shortcut

I have created a shortcut from a 'xyz.scr' screensaver of my choice via select, r-clik create shortcut method. My issue is: when I select the screensaver shortcut and r-clik I get no options to pin to taskbar or pin to start menu and I want to. How can I pin the shortcut to the taskbar or the start menu?

Drag and drop ?

works for you? no joy here. other ideas?

in my opinion their is no need for a screensaver for any modern monitor. i just set monitor to go off after so many minutes.

Change the target of the shortcut to be something like

Code:

%windir%\explorer.exe "path to scr file"

I'm not where I can test, but hopefully that type of shortcut can be pinned.

How about this method? What strollin was talking about.

Recycle Bin - Pin to Taskbar

You're just creating a toolbar but it works, I just tried it,
