Preventing Windows going to Lock screen

[AutoMeasure]

Hi folks - Do any of you know of a way to prevent Windows from going to lock screen during a long test run, by sending a command or doing some action periodically inside the Labview program? Assuming that the lock screen timeout setting is inaccessible due to access restriction. Telling the test operator to jiggle the mouse every couple of minutes is not always an option, ha ha.

Thanks,   -Joe

I have always used this library to prevent the screensaver and windows lock from occurring. Our IT locks down the computer so the screensaver, lock screen, cannot be changed. This library bascially tells Windows it's in Presentation mode, e.g., slideshow, watching a movie, etc, such that the screen will not got to screensaver or lock screen.
