# # This script emulates a user pressing the Num Lock key every two seconds. # When working the Num Lock light will flash on the keyboard. It will affect # the behaviour of the numeric keypad # # This tricks the windows screen saver into thinking there is an a active user # hence it prevents the screen saver. Do not use in a secured situation. # # For details see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee156592.aspx # $shell = New-Object -com "Wscript.Shell" while ($True) { $shell.sendkeys("{NUMLOCK}") Start-Sleep -Seconds 2 }
