Screen Saver not always topmost

I have built a screen saver by referencing the Microsoft article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/818359. I have set TopMost: True however,
I've noticed that when other applications launch while the screen saver is
active (such as an Automatic Update Reboot prompt), this takes over the
TopMost setting which then displays the taskbar and window. Is there a way to
keep the TopMost level until the screen saver is not active?

When doing a SaveAS on workbook, within a c# program, and the screen saver has activated, I always get the error message: "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources". I've looked at google and msdn and neither seem to have a solution for this scenario. I've tried to disable the screen saver from code, but security policy doesn't allow me to.

Because I did not author the spreadsheets and attendees will be allowed to play with the spreadsheets, I needed a way to periodically restore the original versions. In addition to the "always-on-top click this button to reset demo" application I wrote, I chose to use screen saver code to reset the demo after a period of inactivity in the event an attendee...

Hi, Our software runs on a XP system attached to a touch screen monitor and smartcard USB reader. We run our own simple corporate screen saver. When the screen is touched the screen saver vanishes, but when a user inserts a smartcard (we're polling for inserts) the screen saver doesn't vanish. Is there any way we can awaken the system and stop the screen saver from code please?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
