Re: How to bypass screensaver and lockup?

I'll second Malke's advice. Trying to bypass their security settings on your
own could be considered grounds for termination.

My organisation's security policy dictates that Windows (XP)
screensaver is
activated with password protection every 10 minutes. I do not have
authority to change the display settings (in fact no access to the
control panel). This is very disruptive when I'm doing presentations,
not always on
Powerpoint, but also on other applications. When I'm busy reading off
the screen, the screensaver activates and locks, and I have to walk to
the computer and type in my password to continue.

Is there a way to bypass this during a presentation? Like set up a
utility that automatically moves the cursor to a different spot on the
screen?

Any other ideas please?

Talk to your IT Dept. to make changes in the screensaver activation
time.
