Keep screen unlocked via asynchronus Robotic Automation

All,

Is it possible to keep a screen unlocked during an automation, I have written a basic Mouse Move C# script. However this does not seem to be working within the automation.

Please see screen shots attached of automation

**I have noticed the method is called MouseMove however within the automation it is referring to NewMethod1 - this may be the issue but un-sure how to fix.


Thanks

Sen

I have used a very basic method to keep a screen unlocked; SendKeys to Notepad. Open a notepad window, SendKeys to it, close it, repeat every N minutes. That has kept machines unlocked for me.
