Edugeek's attachment upload function seems to be broken. Here's the content of the attachment I tried to upload: '=============================================================================== ' ' Program : Slideshow.vbs ' Version : 1.0 ' Created : 7-Apr-2010 ' Author/s : Joe Bubbles ' ' Purpose : Drag and drop a PowerPoint slideshow onto this program icon, it ' will then launch the slideshow and emulate a keystroke at ' predetermined intervals to avoid the screensaver activating, thus ' by-passing the screensaver password protection (if enabled).

Download the attachment and rename it to *.vbs. I created a shortcut to this script on my desktop and named it "Slideshow Stay Awake". Simply drag-and-drop your presentation or slide show onto the shortcut, the script will do the rest. (It won't touch your screensaver or GPO settings at all.)
