disable windows screensaver by winbatchtool

[juergenk]

hello,

i will disable the windows screensaver with an winbatch tool. Because my tool start if TimeWait (datetime).
The screensaver is with password saved but the passwort is known for the tool.
How can i disable the screensaver at windows to start the tool ?

if the tool ready i start the screensaver with shell %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

thanks for helping

Sorry I am not aware of any way to programmatically enter a password on a workstation with the desktop locked by a password protected screen saver. WinBatch Sendkey functions do not work when a workstation is locked.

The OP didn't specify. However based on previous posts from this user, I assumed Windows 7.

Then you're probably right - in both senses...

If there are no chance unlook the machine by script. Kill process look machine or anything ?
I use win7 system.

Sorry I do not understand the question. Could you rephrase?

I think he wants to do something like killing "screensaver.exe" to get to the desktop.

Another option might be to run the Winbatch tool via task scheduler on its own desktop instead of running it as the logged on user (who's screen is lock by the screen saver).
