Is there a way to end a screensaver from a vbscript?
I have a vbscript scheduled to run at 9:00 pm via the windows task
scheduler. One of the first things i want the script to do is to kill the
running screensaver. How can i do this? I have tried using the
WshShell.SendKeys method to send keystrokes to the screen, i have tried
running the kill.exe screensavername.scr command and still the screensaver
does not end.
