My work computer is locked into making me login after 20 mins of inactivity.Can I download program to avoid?

Question

I am looking for a program that I can download to keep my computer "active" so that my it does not default to making me login again after 20 minutes of inactivity.

This is a company issued laptop and the settings are locked that would otherwise be changed to avoid this.

I am thinking somebody has developed a program that would keep my computer "active" so that even while I am away from my computer it is still "active" and would not require me to login again.

Answer 1

If that is a Company issued machine, you had better not mess with it.

Company Policies are made for a reason, and in this case it is because of security.

Answer 2

Likely this account is of a 'limited' nature, which will prevent you from adding any programs, or doing much that will change the system.

You might be able to run the screen saver from the 'preview'  tab, but that's a guess...

See the network admin. to get that problem changed.

Answer 3

Can be 2 things:

1. Your screen-saver is set to automatic lock and maybe will be possible from Control Panel to change it

2. Is possible an automatic locking is done using the method described in the link bellow
