automation - How to prevent auto-locking feature of an XP machine using VBscript

Question

machine get locked during the automation script run-time , this is because there is a long interval between different scripts that(this is required for some reasons) . I want to avoid this auto locking feature. The problem is, as per security policies we cannot disable this feature from control panel. Is there any other way to keep the system unlocked?

Answer 1

I did this...It sends 2 SCROLLLOCK Keys, quickly, so it wont interfere (well, not anything serious anyways) with any applications. It does this every 60 seconds....Cheers!

set wsc = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Do
WScript.Sleep (60*1000)
wsc.SendKeys ("{SCROLLLOCK 2}")
Loop
