This is more likely to cause side effects, as a full key down/key up is generated. Your choice of key could have side effects Instead of F15, the key specified by xx is used. This solves some of the issues with the above apps, but may cause the shift key to become 'unpressed' sometimes This is the traditional behavior so is well tested, but can cause issues with Putty sessions, PowerPoint, Google Docs or Smartsheet The F15 'key up' event is used every 59 seconds. -cpu:xx - active until the CPU drops below xx%.-onac - active only when the computer is on AC power (plugged in).or x characters - which indicate from hour 0 to hour 23 of the day. -watchwindow:xx - active only when a window with xx in the title is found.-lighticons - always use the light icons.-oldicons - use more colourful tray icons.-keypress - simulate a full key press, not just a key up event.Note: the codes on the linked page are in Hex, convert them to decimal for use with this parameter -key:xx - simulate using virtual key code xx.-ontaskbar - show a task bar button (use with -showdlg).

Double-clicking the icon empties the coffee pot (that's what the icon is) and temporarily disables the program. The icon is shown above - it's the leftmost one in the task tray, and this is all you see.

It works by simulating a keypress once every 59 seconds, so your machine thinks you're still working at the keyboard, so won't lock the screen or activate the screensaver.
