Keep computer from going into standby

[bcording]

Anyone have an elegent solution to keep a computer from going into standby using autoit?

start > run > powercfg.cpl

I have the dutch version of windows... so there's a option:

Systeem op stand-by: Nooit

i think its something like sytem on stand-by: Never (in english)

edit:

Run("control.exe powercfg.cpl")

then controlclick it or something...

There has to be a registry setting for the power options somewhere. That would be much more elegant than running a program and kludging through it....

Ah, here it is. HKCU\Control Panel\PowerCfg

Default layout has five, I believe.

Create a sixth one and set HKCU\Control Panel\PowerCfg currentpowerpolicy = REG_SZ 6

The real trick is that super long binary string:

01000000000000000100000000000000020000000000000000000000000000002C0100003232030304000000040000000000

000000000000000000002C01000000000000840300000001646464640000

This binary string shuts off all power conservation options.

As usual, the devil is in the details. I leave the details to you.

You guys are missing the mark...or maybe I didn't explain fully explain what I wanted. I am looking for a way to ensure that when a rather lengthy script is run that the computer does not go into standby. I am not looking to edit the power profiles. Power profiles can easily be modified through the use of powercfg.exe. So something that would keep the screen saver from going active (not necessarily) and standby.

AdlibEnable("_NoSaver",60000)
Func _NoSaver()
    Local $loc = MouseGetPos()
    MouseMove($loc[0]+1,$loc[1]+1)
    MouseMove($loc[0],$loc[1])
