Today I was a newsletter of the PC world reached. The following excerpt from the mail got my attention:
WINDOWS XP, VISTA
Zwangskonfigurierten screensaver trick
The system administrator has set the wait for the screen saver lock, followed by users is very short. Whoever does not shake constantly on the mouse or typing anything, please login again and again? annoying in the long run ...
I want to see, want to bypass the Group Policy. So keep clicking on the article and read.
First, you should of course try a right click on the desktop and select Properties (XP) or "adaptation" (Vista), increase in the tab "screen saver to" the waiting period. If the field is grayed out, however, you need our script pcwXxXxxxx.vbs.
Okay, if you can set the user time, can this be a solution.
After you have called it a double click, "pushes" it every 50 seconds virtually the key roles. 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 normally not used, that does not upset any further.
Where is flashing because such a key? On my laptop it will not happen.
Startup pack in: If the script startup automatically be active at any Windows, should you click the right mouse button on the "Start" button and go to "Open". In the newly called up window, select "Programs, Startup, copy the script there and restart the computer.
As you think after 2 days not more to it that it has produced a security hole.
How the name was previously in an advertisement: and runs and runs and runs
PC Lock specifically: If the computer in between really does want to be locked because you pick up a coffee or food, then just press <Win> - <L>.
The reference to the combination Windows key + L I find it very helpful because this is usually not very well known.
To disable the demand to back off, in script: remove it from the Startup folder and log off and back on or restart the computer.
The idea with the car start, I find totally stupid. Thus undermined one permanently set the configuration that was likely set by an administrator, because it (hopefully) focused on IT security. In general, these values are not set out of frustration by IT staff.
Such attitudes I have in home environments actually never seen, at least, that they are not changed, so that this script is expected to impact in corporate data security policies and / or Großumgebungen infiltrated.
Before downloading, you can also read the following:
Note: Some virus scanners generate scripts when calling this a false alarm.
The strikes on command Sendkeys during interventions in the system of the virus, is also perfectly fine, as well as illegal according to 'keystrokes in the background (as it was called the PC world can be done virtually). This technique could otherwise be used by criminals.
Then one wonders not more about the situation of data security in Germany?
In general, however, are in the installation of this "script" to an unauthorized interference in the workstation system and a violation of the security policy of the employer. This can result in a warning.
Whether it is really worth, have to decide for themselves. One should however not be surprised if the colleagues but even more to do with the data and e-mails of colleagues as intended.
I have the file name and alienates no link is inserted on purpose to not support this approach.
I dissociate myself from the possibility of avoiding the IT security policy.
