Thanks for replying dglienna.

When I log in on the main machine the remote machine goes to the user log in screen. This has to happen cos 2 users can't log in to a windows machine at the same time. I don't mind this.
The problem arises when I am done previwing the remote machine's activity and I want to return control to it's default "User".

I have to log off here because I want to use my main machine to do other things. Staying logged into the remote machine would be ok if the remote was just processing data (which would also happen even if the login screen is showing)

My program is using screen scraping techniques that require the active window to be live and on screen.

Just had a thought though, If the user log in screen is a window and has a handle then I might be able to use Sendmessage()


PS: Remote assistance lets you have both machines showing the live window at the same time
but performance is degraded to a point that the remote can't handle the app.
