    Detection is different then telling you WHEN IT DISCONNECTS, which is probably more of what you would like. Provide a LOT more information, if you expect anyone to know what you want to do.

    Re: Mouse and Keybaord

    This is not the correct way going about this. why lock the screen if there is no input device?

    Anyways, if it is a usb mouse and a usb keyboard, you might be able to use the RegisterDeviceNotification API to detect insertion or removal. I have done it with USB drives - and it should work similar.

    Re: Mouse and Keybaord

    I thought you would have googled already, based on my previous advice....

    Anyways, have a decent read through this article I wrote some time ago :
