About SCINVOKE 
               Screen savers are useful for password-protecting your
computer - the trick is getting them to invoke when you want them to.
SCInvoke presents a very small dialog box that's almost entirely covered
by a single button. When you push the button, your screen saver is
invoked immediately. When the dialog box is active (the caption bar
is highlighted), the screen saver is prevented from starting up.

USAGE
        To install SCInvoke, simply copy the file SCINVOKE.EXE to a 
directory on your hard disk and create an icon for it in your shell.
SCInvoke works under Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Window NT. You may 
want to place the SCInvoke icon in your Startup group.

The first time you run SCInvoke, it will put its dialog box right in 
the middle of the screen. You can drag it anywhere you like by clicking 
on the caption bar and moving the mouse. In addition, you can drag 
SCInvoke by clicking on any area of the dialog box other than the Invoke
button. This is convenient if you want to push SCInvoke almost complete-
ly off the screen, with just a few pixels of an edge or a corner 
showing. Click on an edge outside the button and SCInvoke becomes 
active, preventing the screen saver from invoking.

SCInvoke's options are available from its System menu. The Invoke Screen
Saver menu option does the same thing as the Invoke button on the dialog
box. This lets you run SCInvoke minimized and still start your screen 
saver on demand. The Always on Top option causes SCInvoke to float above
other windows, even when it's not active. The Save Settings option 
stores SCInvoke's window position.

If you've pushed SCInvoke way off the screen and want to access its 
System menu, click on any part of its window and then press 
Alt-Spacebar.
