Why Use This?

Many corporate IT policies enforce automatic screen lock after 15 minutes of inactivity to prevent unauthorized access to unattended computers. However, this can interfere with your workflow when you need to step away briefly.

Problem Scenarios:

• Your screen locks while you’re taking a quick break
• Your company restricts idle time to prevent security risks
• You want to maintain “active” status on communication apps (like Microsoft Teams) to avoid appearing unavailable

Solution:

This toolkit provides two complementary scripts:

1. Batch Startup Script - Automatically launches all your work tools at boot
2. Mouse Monitor Script - Keeps your system active by:
   • Detecting inactivity periods
   • Automatically moving the mouse after a configurable idle threshold (default: 5 minutes)
   • Preventing automatic screen lock
   • Maintaining your “online” status on chat applications

Additional Benefits:

• Keeps your Microsoft Teams indicator from showing as “Away” or “Idle”
• Avoids drawing unnecessary attention with constant activity
• Seamless integration with your daily workflow
