prevent sleep mode and automatic update/shutdown - windows 7

I need to run a program - probably for a couple of days.

I am just 开发者_StackOverflowwondering how I can prevent windows 7 to go into sleep mode/hibernate and prevent automatic update.

Thanks.

As for preventing sleep/hibernate try to look in MSDN at SetThreadExecutionState, WM_POWERBROADCAST. Read also the following document.

Or you can just right click on the power icon near the clock, or type power in the Start Menu and select power options. Next choose one of the currnet power plan your computer is set to, and click on the Change plan settings. Simply set ALL the parameter to Never... you computer will run forever...
