saying that members of the forum are resisting a change to moviemaker is
absurd. If you read the posts again, you will see that the people that have
responded to you have all supported your efforts to make "millions" of
children safer, but have tried to point out to you that there are already
other, better suited ways to accomplish what you want. the simple fact
is...you are trying to use moviemaker for a purpose it was not designed for.
IF you can make it work for your needs GREAT, if not, open your mind a
little bit and take some of the advice offered to you by the nice people of
this forum, and look for a better solution. The people who respond here are
not MICROSOFT, they do not write the programs, asking for a change to a
program here is like asking the clerk at the convenience store to change the
packaging of coca-cola. if you want to use moviemaker as a hidden webcam
software and do not want your un-trusted nanny to be able to see what you
are doing, take the power cord to the monitor with you when you leave the
house, or use a program that was designed to do what you need.
| Thank you Rehan for your thoughtful feedback.

| It is perhaps unfortunate to characterize the motives of all members of
the
| WMM2 forum. Four members have resisted the screensaver tweak to WMM2. The
| real reason a little added button that says "click here if you want to use
| screensaver during time-limit capture" is resisted by four members of the
| WMM2 Forum escapes me.
|
| Adding a screensaver mode in addition to the default no-screensaver mode
| would provide millions of concerned parents with an excellent simple
| Nannycam. WMM2 is already installed on millions of computers and concerned
| parents already own an excellent simple Nannycam. It's called Windows
Movie
| Maker 2. It just needs this simple screensaver tweak.
