I did right-click and check properties and the screen saver option is gone.
I appreciate the consideration of my job, but I'm in no position to get in
trouble over this. It's an over-reaction......not looking to steal any data
or do anything to compromise the network. Just want a program to jiggle my
mouse every 10 minutes so that if I leave my desk for a bit I don't have to
re-logon.

Does such a thing exist?

TIA
