#Usb joystick prevents windows 10 screensaver start software#
After all, while we don’t have any idea what a Chief Software Architect actually does, we assume that someone in that position probably shouldn’t spend hours and hours looking for alternate ways to keep a screensaver from locking. As soon as we found something that worked, we called it good. We tried a couple things that didn’t work, then stumbled upon an approach that did work. We should note that there might be other ways to perform this task. Set objIE = CreateObject(“InternetExplorer.Application”) Set objShell = CreateObject(“Wscript.Shell”) StrCommand = “%comspec% /k cscript ” & Chr(34) & strPath & chr(34) Here’s the script we came up with: If LCase(Right(Wscript.FullName, 11)) = “wscript.exe” Then And if that doesn’t sound like the perfect qualification for Chief Software Architect, well, we don’t know what does. To begin with, we should point out that we had no idea whether we could find a way to keep the computer active and thus prevent the screensaver from running. That’s why we decided to see if we could answer your question after all, we don’t want our screensaver kicking in the moment that email arrives. Of course, seeing as how this is Microsoft (although we are thinking about changing the company name after we take over) there’s a good chance that they’ll send us an email instead of calling us.
Needless to say, someone will have to replace him and, well – all modesty aside – who would be a more logical choice than the Scripting Guys? We’re expecting the phone to ring any minute now. As you probably heard, Bill Gates has decided to step down as Microsoft’s Chief Software Architect. We hope you’ll forgive us if we seem a little distracted today. Is there a way to keep that from happening?
Hey, Scripting Guy! How can I write a script that prevents the screensaver from coming on? Sometimes I get interrupted for a couple minutes (say I get a phone call or something) and the screensaver kicks in, which promptly locks the computer.
