Is there a program that you can run on your PC that will make your PC

appear to be active so the screensaver will never be activated?

 

I have heard you can do this with a javascript.

Are you a user in a corporate environment? If this is "your" pc you can

simply disable the screensaver. If it's in a corporate environment ask

the IT person to disable it.

We may be asked to disable it without corporate action. We have been

told that is possible, and our client may ask us to do it. It's a lab

environment where the screensaver prevents people from staying on

schedule and doing their jobs, particularly on shared computers.

Re: avoiding password-protected screensavers

 

You can do it with VB script, with helper applications or with registry

edit.

 

VB Script:

Helper application:

FlipSS (12KB zip)

http://www.jddesign.f2s.com/freeware_programs.htm

 

Registry edit:

For individual users:

 

=========================================

REGEDIT4

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"ScreenSaveActive"="0"

"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0"

 

============================================

 

0=No

1=Yes

 

REGEDIT4 is for NT4.

 

The header for Windows 2000/XP is:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

Group Policies wiil overide HKCU settings.
