Hi Michael,

In addition to the fact that I already replied to this post and the excellent answer 
by Don Penlinton,who suggested to use the number pad in the method to create a 
shortcut, posted here http://tinyurl.com/855r8j  ,
I'm posting some belated info that got waylaid during the excitement of the holidays.

Nonetheless,with this belated New Year's wish for you and all readers,I hope this 
will help you and them to deal with shortcuts ;)

You already mentioned it in a sense : .."Something like Windows Key + X, or similar?"
There is a small utility called WinKey and it can be downloaded here:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/WinKey.shtml
It sits quietly in the SysTray and can provide up to about 200 shortcuts,
using the Win(Logo)Key and modifier key or keys.

Is there a way to create a shortcut or keystroke that invokes your screensaver?
Something like Windows Key + X, or similar?  I'd like to put it in my Start menu so I
can switch to screen saver with a 1-2 keystroke command for when I step away for a
few minutes.
