Screen Saver Activation

[AJ]

Perhaps this is the wrong newsgroup, nonetheless...

I want to enable the screen saver by means other than the typical no
activity time limit. For instance, if my pc is voice enabled, I'd like the
screen saver to initiate after I say a certain word. Or perhaps initiate it
at a certain time of day. Is this possible?

Thanks,

AJ

Hi,

You can set a scheduled task and point it to the executable of the
screensaver to run the screensaver at a specific time of the day.

AJ,

Yes. But it will not be "password protected".

Ok. So if I understand you correctly, I execute a *.scr. Now, how do I quit
the screensaver?

I must be a little more clear than in my first post. The pc in question is a
tablet-stlye pc. I'd prefer to not have physical contact with the device.
Instead, I'd like to stop the screensaver with my voice, i.e. by announcing
"Stop Screensaver". How might this be done? Voice enables software running,
check. But how to quit the screensaver with a voice command.

Thanks,

AJ

That's ok, as these devices are not password protected.

Thanks.

you are trying to get at. Good luck !
