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.

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.

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.

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

VB Script:
http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0geu9epm6hHuVYAX8tXNyoA?p=vb%2BSP...ETSCREE

Helper application:
FlipSS (12KB zip)
http://www.jddesign.f2s.com/freeware_programs.htm

Registry edit:
For individual users:

=========================================
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaveActive"="0"
"ScreenSaverIsSecure"="0"

============================================

0=No
1=Yes

REGEDIT4 is for NT4.

The header for Windows 2000/XP is:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
