This solution, in my eyes, is a very poor one. You're basically running another application, in the background, just to emulate activity so the timeout never times out. Just another piece of the puzzle that can go wrong. The registry key, despite needing to be re-done after editing the password properties, is a better solution because - really - how often do you edit your password properties? I usually (to steal a line from Ron Popeil) just "Set it and forget it" after a hard-reset.
