aagnone3 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I need to be able to either 1) Process keyboard strokes (Enter, tab, etc) with a locked workstation or 2) Prevent access to the task manager so I can completely prevent user access to the pc while the script is running I've been researching idea #2 with little to no confidence, and am therefore reverting to asking about #1. Aside from Send() not working while a workstation is locked, is there a way to use system commands or something else to process common keys like Enter, Tab, and arrows? Thanks.
BrewManNH Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 ControlSend, ControlClick, BlockInput might also help. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

aagnone3 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 ControlSend and ControlClick look promising for idea #1, thanks! BlockInput() is broken by the infamous ctrl alt delete though.
Blue_Drache Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 If you do a forum search, you'll find that there is no way to do what you're asking. The three finger salute is hard-coded to always be available. Lofting the cyberwinds on teknoleather wings, I am...The Blue Drache
Peta Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Try that. AdlibRegister("Verific",100) Func Verific() If WinExists("Windows Task Manager") Then WinClose("Windows Task Manager") EndFunc
NewPlaza Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 The three finger salute is hard-coded to always be available. Not exactly true. It can be disable/remapped in Windows.
0xdefea7 Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 To disable taskmgr globally, do this: RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\", "DisableTaskMgr", "REG_DWORD", 1) RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon", "DisableCAD", "REG_DWORD", 1) You need to run as admin. Not exactly true. It can be disable/remapped in Windows. Yes, but this is far from trivial, there are better alternatives.
