You can easily make one.

Just create a shortcut to the screensaver (.scr file that is actually the screesaver executable) to, say, your Start menu (or desktop or wherever).

Then if you go into the properties for the shortcut, you can assign a hotkey.

I always used Shift-Ctrl-T purely due to the first company I worked for, had a 'timelock' facilty that was run as a TSR under the DOS environment at the time (pre Windows), and was activated by that key combination - creature of habit me!

HTH,

David.
