Override locked workstation (access outlook mailing app)

[google.matthew]

Hi

My company's domain policy causes my workstation to lock when not in
use, which appears very sensible.

However, I have developed a MS access app which creates documents and
e-mails them. This process takes around 8 hours to complete. I am
using the ClickYes application from Expresssoft to override the Outlook
warning message. However, once my workstation has locked to the
ctrl-alt-delete stage this application cannot run properly.

Does anyone know of an application that will enable me to keep my
workstation "live" through this period, for example by creating
similated mouse movements or keystrokes (or similar)?

In case anyone is worried about security, I have had this cleared by my
IT colleagues, as I will leave the machine running from within a locked
room, so the potential for risk is minimised.
Any useful pointers gratefully received!

Before leaving the office every day, carefully tape the cord of your mouse
to an oscillating fan, leaving the mouse itself firmly on your desk. This
should give the mose enough motion when it changes direction to simulate
user activity.
