[NF] wiggle mouse?

Author: Jarvis, Matthew

Posted: 2011-03-03 16:34:08 Link

Is there a way or small program that can be installed on a machine so

that it will "wiggle the mouse" or do whatever so that the machine

doesn't go into hibernation?

Ideally this thing would be able to be scheduled to do it from, say, 6am

to 8pm, then just let the machine do what it wants outside that

timeframe.

I can't really write something on my own for this since my only tool

would be MS Access, so was looking for some little COM file or something

I could plug into Windows Scheduler or something...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Matthew,

I configured a different Power Plan that does not hibernate. I alternate

them using the command line C:\Windows\System32\PowerCfg.Exe

PowerCfg -L <-- This gives you a list, you'll need the GUIDs of the two

you'll swap

PowerCfg -S {GUID} <-- This sets the active power plan

You can set two scheduled tasks at the appropriate times to switch them back

and forth.

Tracy-

How clever...

C:\Documents and Settings\mjarvis>powercfg -l

I am ignorant of how to get the GUID from these choices - can you tell

me how to do that?
