Hi,

I am searching for a solution concerning following situation:

- A Windows installation where the user has limited rights
- The screensaver pops up after x minutes and asks for a password
- The user is not allowed to change the screensaver parameters

The screensaver time-out is set very low and it is very annoying that 
you have to re-enter your password after a brief period of inactivity.

So, I wrote a small utility that periodically moves the mouse cursor a 
bit and thus - I assumed - would reset the Windows inactivity timer. 
Hence no screensaver should ever pop-up.

OnTimer:
POINT Position;
GetCursorPos(&Position);
SetCursorPos(Position.x+1,Position.y+1);
SetCursorPos(Position.x,Position.y);

This code is activated by a timer (at first I used rather large 
intervals, but intervals which are smaller than the screen saver 
activation time, but now I've even tried an interval of 25ms).

I've used several variations on the above theme (e.g. every odd minute, 
cursor +1, every even minute cursor -1)

Anyway, I assumed that simulating mouse activity would prevent the 
screensaver from popping up. But it doesn't...

Does anyone have some ideas ? Perhaps I'm looking at this completely 
wrong and there's a simple API (and which is accessible when having 
limited rights) that allows you to accomplish this ?

Thanks,

Kris
