Didn't find scripts, but:I think Don't Sleep 3.91 is the very best.
https://sourceforge....s/Portable%20Verson/ - this tool prevents your computer falling asleep when downloading something (portable).
http://dlaa.me/blog/post/9956802 - this tool prevents your system from falling asleep as long as it is activated (portable). Can be started separately at your own discretion or together with the tasks you want.
https://www.donation.../Skrommel/index.html - either 'LowToSleep' or 'Noise' could help you.
Found one more:
http://www.softwareo...=Microsoft/DontSleep - this tool prevents your computer to fall asleep, but it can also prevent system shutdown, Standby, Hibernate, Turn Off and Restart at your discretion. Might be handy too.-Shades (November 13, 2016, 07:28 AM)

I would like an automated script to modify this time during some tasks without assistance and come back to the standard conditions I have.-Contro (November 13, 2016, 06:19 AM)

BrowserTraySwitch hasn't gotten much attention from me in the recent years.. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work with Windows 8, but it's possible that it doesn't.. If someone can confirm that it doesn't work, and has some insight into why the default browser registry settings wouldn't be effecting windows 8, I'm happy to update it.It's not working. But I am not able to help.-mouser (July 23, 2014, 07:16 AM)
May be a good idea.would creating a sector by sector image of the whole drive be a good idea first ?
Then you can mess around all you like with different recovery programmes, if the HD dies, you have a copy.-tomos (October 11, 2016, 05:14 AM)
If you make a sector level copy you don't need the original HDD to recover from, just mount the image (or plug in the HDD you made the clone to) and perform the recovery on that - no need to stress the original HDD any further.
Try Recuva first, if it can't see them then try PhotoRec which is probably the best freeware data recovery tool out there atm - PhotoRec is not restricted to just images.-4wd (October 11, 2016, 05:23 AM)
If the disk is not working well though, what you want is to be able to copy the contents as quickly as possible.Recuva Pro does
I'm not sure that these recovery programmes are a good idea if the disk is in poor condition:

Disclaimer: I have not made a sector by sector image of a drive. I think it should have everything on it though (see if other people confirm that).-tomos (October 11, 2016, 05:14 AM)
Recuva is good in my experience for image/video files:I tried photorec for images too.
haven't tried it with other file formats.-tomos (October 11, 2016, 04:11 AM)
they can resize windows, but they have no window resizer.The Resize state is turned on as soon as you start resizing a window with the mouse pointer opposing arrows cursor; i.e., hover the pointer over the border of the window until it turns into opposing arrows, then left-click on the window's border and (keeping the mouse button depressed) drag the border to its new size. Another way to resize a window is to activate its system menu and select there the Size command, then use the arrow keys to resize the window - finally pressing <Enter> to keep the selected size or <Esc> to cancel the changes. When you release the left mouse button or press one of the above-mentioned keys, Resize state is turned off. Actual Tools programs can automatically execute the following actions while resizing a window:
Aero Snap - toggle the Aero Snap sizing effects.
Make Transparent - set the specified transparency level. The previous transparency level will be restored when the Resize operation is completed.
Restrict Placement - deny resizing a window so it goes beyond the defined limits.
Snap - place the dragged window's border with no gaps to desktop borders and other windows.

As a not so funny fact, my task manager has a window resizer included. But it's a $50 task manager, not a window resizer...-Curt (October 10, 2016, 04:00 PM)
