- avoiding password-protected screensavers
- Posted by tadamsmar@yahoo.com on February 5th, 2008
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.

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