Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / February 2006Button Pushing Machine?
This is going to sound really silly, but is there such a thing as a button pushing machine or mouse moving machine.. My work has disabled our ability to over-ride the screen saver interval and, for several reasons, I would like it to NOT go to screen saver when I am at lunch or dinner. I don't think Homer Simpson's drinking bird will work. hehe Any thoughts? =================================================================== Your company apparently enforces the screensaver wait time interval via Group Policy. You'll need to discuss your issue with your IT department.

However, please note that this will/may run against the company policy, since they have "turned off" the changing the screen saver intervals for a reason! -- --- Y.

I > don't think Homer Simpson's drinking bird will work. hehe Any thoughts? A program like stay connected can make mouse movements. If that's all it takes to stop the screensaver from kicking in. http://www.inklineglobal.com/products/sc/index.html >> This is going to sound really silly, but is there such a thing as a >> button pushing machine or mouse moving machine..

But that's good to know. As for all the company policy emails, what the heck? It's not your company. Perhaps, I should go through channels, but that kind of response seems rather Orwellian to me. Except for Bud, you guys scare me. I doubt I will post here again. > This is going to sound really silly, but is there such a thing as a button > pushing machine or mouse moving machine..

I will only hint that you will need to change registry settings after logging in (where the policy settings are copied) and you can create files to do that. However, you should first check with your IT dept or whomever is defining the group policies as violating them could lead to poor reviews, punishment, or even termination. Ask first. Even if they won't change the policies that get pushed to your host, ask them if you are allowed to change them after login; if they say okay then figure out the registry keys to change.

It's not wonder this country is going to sh*t. >> This is going to sound really silly, but is there such a thing as a >> button pushing machine or mouse moving machine..

Yeah, my not wanting to waste time having to log back on from lunch and dinner, while working from home is a big problem, while Ken Lay's behavior is probably perfectly fine with you. Priorities man, priorities! Anyway, I found a simple trick to stop the screen saver from kicking in. Cheers. |
