Is it possible to disable domain enforced screen saver?

Question

My Win XP laptop has screensaver configuration enforced by a company wide domain settings. It turns on after 15 mins and locks the screen. This is very annoying when I want to watch a movie at home, because I've to move the mouse every 15 minutes to prevent locking the screen. Not even a media player setting to disable the screensaver helps here.

Is it possible to "hack" these settings somehow and turn the screensaver off when I need to?

Answer 1

add a local user and log on as that, not the domain user. this should bypass domain policies.

Answer 2

Or you could also try an application that automatically moves the mouse on a set interval. I've never used one, but here is a Google search.
