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.

How clever...

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

Since you are using 2000/XP not Vista/7, you can use the name instead of a
GUID.
PowerCfg -? Will show you the command line help.
