You've also failed to demonstrate a 1st grade level of deductive reason. Figuratively speaking, given 1+1, I've seen you fail to see the obvious link and present the result of 2 on more than one occasion.

That to me is another Valik quote as well. Geeze I should start a website that just has quotes from Valik it would make us both rich! Valik would you be interested?

Unluckly Jon unregistered the old BlackDiablo name and so looking to the post when he was with that name is difficult.

Locking the workstation has been disabled on this machine, is there anyway to lock it or create a program that would lock the computer from usage (windows lock of cours lol)...?

windows key+L has been disabled and the lock button has been greyd out from the control alt delete screen (while logged in)

Because there's no shortcut/hotkey to lock your PC on Win2k, I searched for it on Google.

I found source code of C++ that locks your PC.

I compiled it and it works perfect using AutoIts hotkeyset.

Here's a small piece of my script that uses that:

If @OSVersion <> "WIN_XP" Then HotKeySet("#l", "LockComputer")
Func LockComputer()
   Run(@ScriptDir & "\LockPC.exe")
EndFunc

I put the source and the executable in the attached zip file.

ur small script is helpful....will add it as a hot key to my script and run have it run the program as ur script says...

Sounds like one of those damn school computer problems. Where the teacher has control over all of them. Sniff around program files, or search for .sys programs running.

Python, you may be right, it could be some type of blocking software. Or, it could be a Group Policy, if the computer is running at least Windows 2000.

I thought the following would work--but I'm not on Win2k or locked down by group policy:

Run("rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation")

hey tht wrkd perfect lol...faster as well...both scripts wer good thnx....oh and also...anything else u cud do with tht? like replace LockWorkStation to something else? anythin to show the desktop without having to use the show desktop button on quick launch...coz yes agen windows+d is disabled...

also...if i wanted to use a combo of the break key and control key...how would i do it?

this is what i have basically (a hotkey set)...but i want it to use both...i knw control is "^"

HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "Pause")

lastly...is there a way to pass on a variable from one script to another? (compiled script)

eg. i have one script in which i have a user input their name...is there a way to get the name from another script?

Based on this info on the "show desktop icon" I came up with this

$path = "C:\WhereEverQuickLaunchIs\Desktop.scf";adjust as needed
Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $path, "", @SW_HIDE)

If "^{PAUSE}" or "{CTRLBREAK}" don't work as hotkeys, then maybe Ctrl+Break cannot be set....

Passing data between scripts is messy.... Most methods involve temporary ini files or changing window titles.... Search the forums
