Adding SNOOZE to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file

For convenience in accessing SNOOZE, you can include a pathname in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Follow these steps:

1.At the MS-DOS command prompt in the root directory, type the following and press Enter:

COPY AUTOEXEC.BAT+CON AUTOEXEC.BAT

To set the path for the SNOOZE utility, type the following and press Enter:

PATH C:\pathname\

For instance, if you were using the default directory offered by the VGA Driver Setup program (described above), you would type:

PATH C:\UTIL\

3.Press F6 and then Enter.

Using the utility

To activate the utility, type SNOOZE and press Enter. You see information about the SNOOZE command syntax and a message that the SNOOZE delay is set to 5 minutes.

The default period of inactivity before the screen goes blank is 5 minutes. You can specify your own time period by entering a number from 1 to 60 (minutes) on the SNOOZE command line. For example, to set a SNOOZE delay of 15 minutes, type the following and press Enter:

SNOOZE 15

To disable SNOOZE, type SNOOZE 0 and press Enter.
