Prevent Screen Saver 1.3.3

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

The aptly titled Prevent Screen Saver keeps your Windows screensaver under wraps--a handy feature in offices where the IT policy doesn't allow users to access Windows control panels. Right-clicking the system-tray icon brings up the simple program menu. Options let you disable the screensaver, enable it, and specify a length of time to keep it out of action. You probably won't need help, but if you do the only way to get it is to e-mail the publisher. The software has a limited scope, but it does what it promises. The demo lasts 15 days, which should be enough time for office admins to decide whether it meets their needs.

Publisher's description

From Clever Systems :

Prevent Screen Saver temporarily prevents your screensaver and power-saving features from activating. Very useful during presentations, demos, or even for draining your laptop's battery. Essential on group policy-managed computers where screensaver timeout is centrally controlled, or use it simply when you don't want to change computer settings back and forth. The utility comes with a PowerPoint 2003 add-in. PSS features can now be managed via Group Policy.

Version 1.3.3.634 has upgrade its ability to manage PSS features via group policy. Among other updates are an improved install experience, much better compatibility with non-administrative user environments, and a few other fixes that were discovered in the course of using the previously released version.
