Hi all.
I was thinking of locking a WindowsNT system as I am writing a custom shell-like app. What are the ways to do this? Launchung a lock-enabled screensaver will NOT go. Should I load 'msgina.dll' and call something from deep inside?

Sincerely Yours,

I'm doing the similar stuff now. I can't find a way to lock the workstation from program instead using screensaver. Have you solved your problem ?

I suppose to give it up because of Windows2000 coming soon, as it has an appropriate call in user32.dll :) Just say in command prompt: 'rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation' - this _works_ in Windows2000 beta3.
