I really miss being able to drag my cursor to the lower-left corner of my screen and having the screensaver start up automatically. For those of you not familiar, on the Mac, you can set up a variety of actions that occur when you move the mouse into a preset corner. I’ve found a number of posts online that show me how to set up an icon on the desktop that I can click to start the screensaver, but it’s not the same — plus I don’t like having icons all over my desktop.

If anyone out there is aware of an app that runs in the background and watches the screen corners, and launches an app or other action when the mouse enters the corner, please let me know.

Update: I found it – Hot Corners Pro, by South Bay Software. It’s shareware, but at $12.99, totally worth it, I think, if it will truly replace the functionality. Too bad it’s not built-in to Windows, though.
