I needed a little utility to stop the Windows screensaver from starting, I was working on some machines where the security policy had set the screensaver to kick-in after 5 minutes and it was password protected, and there was no way to change these settings (also due to the stupid security policy). So I wrote a little VBS script to simulate or fake key presses at set intervals; by default it presses the Shift key every 3 minutes. Just doubleclick the VBS file to start it, or if you want to see what it’s doing then run the CMD batch file. Optionally invoke it manually with CScript and you can change the interval and key to be pressed.

Sweet, I’ll be using it at work, cheers! Ours is set to about 10 minutes which is arse and the policy prevents you from pissing about with it. 5 minutes is sadistic though, fair enough if you work on the bank floor or something, but in a normal office environment its bordering on insane!
Righteous!!

Perfect – Key Faker works great – no requirement for admin rights. Many thanks from across the pond!
still good after battling many corporate policies.
I extract to windows > create short cut to batch file.
then just drop the short cut into start up menu.
Thanks for your efforts.
