Small program that hides in the Windows system tray that prevents Windows to lock or the computer to hibernate of jump in stand-by mode. It moves the mouse cursor 1 pixel if it hasn't been moved for a configurable amount of time.

Most corporate computers are set to lock after a certain amount of time of inactivity by the IT department. We needed a computer to do mainly one task: show a graphical control interface of an automated warehouse on a TV. Of course we didn't want to move the mouse every 5 minutes to prevent the screen to lock. For this I wrote this simple program.
It hides in the Windows system tray and gets the current mouse position. If the mouse position has not changed for a while it moves the mouse 1px to the left and 1px to the right again. That's all that is needed to fool Windows in detecting activity.
To make it a little more than that I added a configurable delay time and an option to disable the NoLock function without closing the application. Both settings can be done from the system tray menu.
