hiding caffeine
Fri Oct 29, 2021 9:07 pm
Hi,
Caffeine is great. But, the company IT people caught on and told
me to stop, to delete it from my system. I tried renaming it
from caffeine.exe to pinecone.exe and with some effort got it to
run. In task manager the image name is pinecone but the
description still says caffeine. Can I vi the exe to correct
this?
How else could I hide that I am running caffeine?
Thanks,

vi the exe? Nope, but try a free app called ResHacker. That will partially help at least. Failing that, a hex editor can alter strings. You can't make them longer, but you can replace character.
However ... I have to advise that your security people know your line manager and your HR policies ... so be careful getting on their bad side!

I found a way to keep the screen up, but it is permanent, it never locks.
Have been using it for over a year and they have not caught on.
And I don't care if they do. I have KMA money and am over retirement age.
The company is shooting themselves in the foot.
At least with caffeine it would lock after however many minutes I set it for.
I have downloaded reshacker and will try to fiddle with it tomrrow.
