Simply run the MouseJiggle.exe included in the release .zip file. Check the "Enable jiggle?" checkbox to start jiggling the mouse pointer; uncheck it to stop. The jiggle is slight enough that you should be able to use the computer normally even with jiggling enabled.

The 'Zen jiggle?' checkbox enables a mode in which the pointer is jiggled 'virtually' - the system believes it to be moving and thus screen saver activation, etc., is prevented, but the pointer does not actually move.

To minimize Mouse Jiggler to the system tray, click the button marked with a green, down-pointing arrow.

If you want to start the Mouse Jiggler with jiggling already enabled, run the MouseJiggle.exe with either the -j or --jiggle command-line switch.

The "-z" / "--zen" command-line switch forces zen jiggling to be enabled for the current (and future) invocations of MouseJiggler.

(Added in 1.5+): The "-m" / "--minimized" command-like switch tells MouseJiggler to start already minimized.

That's it. Enjoy!

≪ Previous: Source code checked in, #72133

Now includes the -m/--minimize switch to start minimized.

Is now distributed as an unzipped executable, since distributing it in compressed format proved troublesome.

For easiest installation, MouseJiggle is also distributed as a ClickOnce package - just click to launch -

(Warning: Using the command-line switches with the ClickOnce version will require making a new shortcut to the file located somewhere under your user profile, in the appropriate \AppData\Local\Apps subfolder. If you plan on doing so extensively, we recommend downloading the binary and installing it yourself.)

Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - This program is the perfect lightweight solution to keeping your Windows sessions active. Zen mode makes the jiggling invisible to your eye, and with the new -m switch, you can set it and forget it. In Windows 7 I have a task scheduler action set to run the program at startup. That's all I have to do to make my day work a little smoother. Thanks for making such a great utility!

The program should only allow a single instance to run. Sometimes it is not obvious that an instance is running when it is minimized to the tray.

≪ Previous: New Post: Single Instance

Version 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 all work perfectly on my machine. I've tested each one in the last several minutes, closing each one before launching the next.

When I get to version 1.5 there are 2 big differences. First, I get a warning about the file not having a digital signature (something I do not get with any of the others) and second every second, once enabled, instead of simple movement the program creates a right click, over and over again, bringing up context menus and the like.

I'm downloading directly from the official list here:
https://mousejiggler.codeplex.com/releases/view/111207

Since I'm always on the lookout for scam downloads on software sites, I did notice that 1.5 is a different name (MouseJiggler vs MouseJiggle) so can you also confirm that the 1.5 listed in the downloads list is the current download?

Thanks!

Upon enabling it does not jiggle, but rather starts pressing right mouse at about the same frequency as 1.4.7 would jiggle.

Going back to 1.4.7, it works normally.

This is on a Win7 64 bit machine.
