NAME

NoSleep - prevent system from hibernating, sleeping or locking

 

SYNOPSIS

WA2LWinTools/bin/NoSleep

NoSleep [ -h | -i | -u | -V ]

 

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/WinTools

 

DESCRIPTION

Prevents screensaver and PC locking. I runs in th system tray and prevents the computer from locking or going into screensaver mode as it normally would when idle.

All it does is move the mouse one pixel to the left, and then one pixel to the right every 30 seconds. This tiny bit of movement is invisible to the user, but is enough to make Windows™ think that someone is using the PC.
