Don't Sleep is a small
portable program to prevent system shutdown, Standby, Hibernate, Turn Off and Restart.
Especially when old Programs run on Windows-7 or Windows Vista. Here's more aggressive power-saving features with new rules.
But not only that, it also prevents loggin off the computer, and the deactivation of the monitor or activation of the screen saver.
Of course you can also manually disable all the options and then activate again, but with Don't Sleep one can save now many hand moves and also save time! And it's easier than ever.
Apart from the fact Don't Sleep has a timer that allows time control unblock, or shutdown the computer for a specified time.
Don't Sleep does not have to be installed and can be executed easily from the desktop, and can be carried on a small usb-stick or other memory device.
