Preventing screensaver cut in

[chardlb]

I have a web display application which needs to be left running unattended on client PCs (Windows XP), but the screensaver eventually cuts in.

Unfortunately, the default screensaver properties have been disabled and the policy is unlikely to change in a hurry.

Is there some simple way that I could spoof the workstation, by generating keypress events for example? I'd prefer a Javascript solution but I don't expect that Javascript would allow this sort of thing. All browsers are IE6.

You can get away with just about anything with Active-X can't you?

Ray,
The "policy" that has hardwired the screensaver (with logon...hint) also makes Active-X a "don't even think about it" option.

Well I doubt you'll be able to do something from the browser that is at a low enough level to simulate keystokes or make window manager calls.
