Today I was a newsletter of the PC world achieved. The following excerpt from the email got my attention:
WINDOWS XP, VISTA
Zwangskonfigurierten screen saver trick
The system administrator has set the waiting time for the screen saver with subsequent user lock very shortly. He that does not alter permanently on the mouse or typing anything, you must register again and again? annoying in the long run ...
I want to see how to bypass the group policy. So continue to click and read the article.
First, you should certainly try this, right click on the desktop and select "Properties" (XP) or "adaptation" (Vista), increase in the "Screen Saver" to the waiting time. However, the field is grayed out, you need our script pcwXxXxxxx.vbs.
Okay, if you let users adjust the time, can this be a solution.
After you have called it a double click, "pushes" it every 50 seconds virtually the Scroll Lock key. You can follow this, because every 50 seconds, the corresponding LED will flash on the keyboard. The system evaluates the user as input, and the screen saver does not start. Since this key is usually not needed, interferes with the no-go.
Where flashing because such a button? On my laptop it will not happen.
Put it in autostart: If the script can be activated automatically each time Windows is starting to click with the right mouse button on the "Start" button and click on "Open". In the new window called select "Programs, Startup", copy the script there, and reboot the machine.
Because you think after 2 days you can not remember that one has produced a security hole.
As stated earlier in the advertising: and runs and runs and runs
PC Lock specifically: If the computer in between really even want to be locked because you grab a coffee or meal to go, then simply press <Win> - <L>.
The reference to the combination Windows key + L, I find it very helpful because this is usually not well known.
Shutdown: Clear To disable the script when you need it, selecting it from the Startup folder and log out and log back on or reboot the machine.
The idea with the car start, I find totally stupid. Thus it infiltrates permanently set the configuration that was probably set by an administrator, because it (hopefully) went to the IT security. In general, these values are not set out of frustration of IT staff.
Such settings I have in home environments actually never seen, at least, that they are not changeable, so that this script is likely to affect corporate or large-scale environments and data security policies undermined.
Before downloading, you can also read the following:
Note: Some virus scanners generate scripts when calling this a false alarm.
The strikes in interventions by Sendkeys command in the system, the virus scanner is also perfectly fine, because even according to "Unauthorized" keystrokes in the background (as it was called the PC world: virtual) can be performed. This technique could otherwise be used by criminals.
As yet no one wonders about the situation of data security in Germany?
In general, it is but when you install this "script" for an unauthorized intrusion into the workplace system and a breach of the security policies of the employer. This can lead to a caution.
Whether it is really worth, everyone must decide for themselves. However, do not be surprised if the fellow but once more to do with the data and e-mails from colleagues as intended.
I inserted the file name and deliberately alienates a link to not to support this approach.
I dissociate myself from the possibility of circumventing the IT security policies.
