Hot Keys to turn off/on my display

I am using Vista Business on a Dell Vostro notebook. I would like to make my
screen go blank if I have to leave for a moment or two without going into
sleep mode or hibernation. On an earlier version of Windows in the past,
there was a place I could put the cursor that would make the display jump to
screen saver.

I cannot find either a combination of hotkeys or a special zone for my
cursor to either turn off (force blank) the screen, or shift into screen
saver.

I am sure this is a simple matter, but I can find no instructions for this.
Please help.
 
cdlynes,
You might want to consider using the Win+L combination to lock your keyboard when you set away from the computer. I realize that this is not a direct answer to your question.

No info in your Dell's User Guide (in Help and Support)?

Consider this: Press Windows Logo Key +L and your log-on window will
display. Now the computer shuts out any peekers until you come back to your
desk and enter your pasword. Log-in takes less than 5 seconds. I don't know
if you can do that with Vista Business but it's an option in Vista Home
Premium.

good luck...
