Ever Wondered how to keep your desktop from screenlocking.....

in #windows7 years ago

Hey guys,

Got a quick windows tip for you.

Some people use Skype for business or other IM applications, which can show their activity or inactivity, if they are away from their desk or working from home. Ever wondered how to keep your desktop open even if you are not there ??!! Well keep on reading...

DISCLAIMER Now before I give you this tip, a BIG security warning...leaving your Windows desktop open is a huge security risk...ONLY do this tip if you know you are in a secure environment. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SECURITY MISHAPS THAT MAY OCCOUR DISCLAIMER

So onto the windows tip....Windows will lock your screen after a period of inactivity which most companies will set at 5 minutes+. To get around this fire up Windows media player or similar

Play the default Wildlife demo video or a video of your choosing....

Right click on the video and choose repeat

The video will now play continuously and keep your screen from locking. Have fun....but be secure!!!!

This has been tested on Windows 7 but should work on Windows 10.
