About
StopLock is a simple program designed to prevent the annoying automatic computer lock feature thats commonly applied to corporate and business networks. This program was designed out of a need to prevent a remote computer I was accessing via VNC from automatically locking itself and thus requiring me to physically go to it and re-logon.
This will prevent the "This computer is in use and has been locked" message and also screensaver timeouts. It will block the screensaver. The program detects if the mouse hasnt been moved in 30 seconds and then moves the mouse to prevent automatic timeouts. Please note V1 doesnt detect keyboard presses however since it only moves the mouse (and doesnt click) it shouldnt affect you if you are working only with the keyboard.
There are two versions both with the same underlying functionality. One that resides only in the system tray and another that only resides in the taskbar. No installer is required meaning it can be installed standalone on memorysticks ect.
Any feedback is welcomed.
