I need to disable the ability of application full screen to turn off the screen and start screen saver. Basically just need to it:

When there is no entry in the application that is running in full-screen, I want to turn on the screen saver and turn off the display. As far as I know, the windows default settings is to prevent turning on the screen saver during modes full screen.

Thanks for the reply

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

According to the description, I understand that you have related questions screen saver settings in Windows.

A screen saver is a program that, including the screen or filling it with moving images or patterns when the computer is not in use.

Screensaver programs were designed to help avoid these effects by automatically changing the images on the screen during periods of user inactivity.

Windows uses photos that better match your monitor for locking screen slide show.

For more information: See photos on the desktop, start and the lock screen

  • Disable the screen saver to logon in XP Home

    I'm deploying many gifts machines running XP Home to

    an elementary school, & it's better for them if the screen saver is
    people with disabilities and no password required to start up.  (Please - we)
    don't need no help to this decision).
    I need a register or install the solution based on the script - it is not possible
    go back & many accounts of click-click-click on many machines.
    I watched a lot of scripts and scenarios of regedit posted
    the years, & no work.    These involve generally change different
    roots versions of control panel\desktop ScreenSaveActive key 0.
    They do not work.  Accounts get up always prepare you with ScreenSaveActive 1.
    I edited default user\ntuser.dat for ScreenSaveActive 0.
    Does not help.
    Can I change the timeout to many registry setting.
    in default user\ntuser.dat - out of work.  I put it in 10 years,
    I had 9999 minutes.   It is about 7 days, not too bad.  Power
    management should take over there.  Yet, I would have preferred something
    better than this kind of hack and there are applications that could
    be better with a kiosk - like approach so that they are always on.
    Is it possible known and modern management script of screensaver in XP Home?
    How is this screensaveactive = 1 parameter is re-applied, anyway?
    It is also not possible to delete SCREENSAVE. EXE - it always returns again
    accounts.

  • How to disable the screen saver when you watch videos in full screen in firefox?

    This only happens with Firefox, other browsers videos play normally and without interruption. I want to keep my window screen saver by default but not when watching full-screen mode.

    The Flash Player plugin must normally block the system to go to sleep, reduce the brightness of the display or go to the screen saver when you are using full-screen. It is strange that you have this problem with Flash.

    There are workaround solutions such as the use of an add-on or an external program that simulates the movement of your mouse, but those who really shouldn't be necessary.

    VLC, I don't know.

    Furthermore, you closed and restarted Windows because this problem first occurred? Just in case where some component shared Windows crashed.

  • Screen lock turns on after 5 minutes, even if turned off in screen saver

    My new installation pro 8 victory is affecting the black screen and locking the computer (have connection) after 5 minutes, even if I have wide screen saver (or value black screen for 15 minutes), no change of power or standby screen setting seems heal.  It's a pain when you are watching a movie or some such.  I found a work around in a little app called movemouse that move the mouse every 30 seconds, but I should be able to disable the function.

    Anyone else see this?

    Hi Jim,.

    Found the answer.

    I had added my accounts Gmail and Exchange of the Windows Mail application. Two security policies applied. It seems that the Exchange account forced a timeout/lock slowed down to 15 minutes. I went to user accounts via the classic Control Panel, and click Reset security policies. Issue disappeared at this time. I'm testing to see if the problem remains fixed after a reboot.

    Apparently, just remove the accounts does not solve this problem. In fact, you must reset such security policies described above.

    Let us know if this answer solves your problem!

  • Palm Treo Pro trouble: Windows media player passes each time the screen saver updated

    The treo Pro is an excellent application of low power consumption screensaver that displays date, time and info missed calls. However, the disappointment is that when you listen to music while in screen saver mode, windows media player ignores all the minutes when the clock on the screen saver updates / refreshes.

    Since the clock updates every minute, the player skips a beat with unerring accuracy.

    It's the solution to this problem. Please, do not respond to a 'solution' to disable the screen saver. I who have already tested and am aware of it. I don't want to disable the default screen saver.

    Agree. I discovered that letting Windows media player running on the screen prevents the screen saver from kicking in (which she does if the phone is on the screen today). The screen always shows the player running but will drive according to the configuration.

    With that, the problem is solved when I play music in a car, but it will be a pain when walking or jogging.

    So I guess the only solution is to disable the screen saver with a single operation... desire, I had an app for that!
