How to prevent pc to lock without admin permission

Hello All, Today I am going to discuss a very general problem which normally faced by IT employee or who belong to software fields. 
Auto system lock on inactivity: Now you might think how the auto-lock feature can be a problem but let me tell you for IT person or specifically automation tester he should take a screenshot while executing his script using any tool like selenium or UFT,
In the meantime, if he wants to go for a time break it's quite challenging for him because IT support doesn’t allow him to change a system setting
So if you are a person who is using their own system where you have full admin access so my friend you are in the wrong place just change your system property no need to put this much mind here but for those who is working in a reputed organization where admin access is restricted by IT team just follow simple below steps 
Note: - This method will only work on a window-based system.

Step 1: - Open Run application using windows shortcut (window+R) or using the start menu, then enter notepad in the run input box and hit the enter button.

Step 2: -Copy the mentioned code and past it to a Notepad file.

set wscrpt = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Do
WScript.Sleep (10*1000) 
wsc.SendKeys ("{SCROLLLOCK 2}") 'Use Send Keys to press the keyboard control.
Loop  ' End Loop

Step 3: - Now save this file with ‘name.vbs’ extension, as followed in the below screenshot.

Well, that’s all you successfully created your auto keyboard action program, now whenever you want to go for a break just double click on created VBS file and the auto key function will work for you.

Multi Login :-Login your multiple Account’s in any website like Facebook, Twitter, Gmail by using single browser


 If you have two  or more account’s of any website such as gmail ,facebook ,twitter or hotmail and you would like to be able to see your profile on both, without needing to log out from one, to log in to another.
So there a trick, You can open as many accounts as you want, on the same site, all at once.
The same applies to all membership websites. You can access multiple accounts at the same time, on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Hotmail… whatever.
I  knew what in your mind because you  doing this by using different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, IE…), and keeping them running all at once. But that just eats up your RAM memory, and makes your desktop slow . So  we’re not going to use that useless method.
I have 3 method for doing it, each for different browser .Well  this all depends on which browser you want to use. You will see all three covered here, step by step, as always.


Google Chrome


  • Use Google Chrome To Login With Multiple Accounts On Same Site


This one is a well known feature of Google Chrome, but in case you did not know about it…Google Chrome comes with the “Incognito mode”, also known as “Private mode”,  which allows you to login to two different instances of the same website.
1. Login to desired website in Google Chrome.
2. Click on the Tools icon (top right corner at google chrome ) and in the menu, select “New Incognito Window“. Or even easier method is to use a keyboard shortcut. Press  Ctrl+Shift+N  to open a new Incognito Window.
3. Go to the same website and you should now be able to login with another user account.

Firefox



  • Use Firefox To Login With Multiple Accounts On Same Site

Firefox is famous for its extensions and add-ons, so you just need to install a Firefox add-on which will help you do this.
Click to Install CookiePie Firefox Extension (Firefox users only)
It’s fairly easy to use. After you’ve installed it and restarted Firefox, just login to Twitter (for example). Then open a new tab and right click on it. Then find the “Toggle On/Off CookiePie” option and click on it to start the extension.
You can see that a cookie appeared on the right side of the tab, which means you can type-in Twitter url, and then Twitter will ask you to login again. But this time you can do it with different account. The image below explains it all.

SCREENSHOT'S









Couple of things to consider when using CookiePie Firefox extension:
Gmail doe’s not  support this extension,it has recently implemented tougher security to its service, so it is aware about other connections in other tabs or windows. Which means this extension, unfortunately, won’t work when using Gmail. Huge disappointment, I know. But developers of the CookiePie are trying to fix this.
- It also runs on Flock/GNU IceWeasel.

Internet Explorer 8


  • Use Internet Explorer 8 To Login With Multiple Accounts On Same Website

This is also one of the features that is only available in Internet Explorer 8.
IE 8 is packed with a “New Session” mode that allows you to start a new window with a brand new session.
1. Open IE8, go to desired website and login with your first account.
2. Then Go to File –> New Session. This will open a new window. Navigate to the same site and you should be able to login with your other account.
I wouldn’t go for this method, since it’s almost same as if you opened two different browsers and logged in to your accounts. Because IE 8 will also open a new window…

I hope you like it.  (-_-)
