I have a security app on this computer that keeps people out of my personal files. However, at this time, it's a standard .exe sitting in one of the folders, nothing difficult to find.

What I'm looking for is a program that launches from the Windows startup, and maintains itself active in the system tray so I know it's running, but registers keystrokes that the user makes. That way, if I enter a certain key set, then the program will kick up the password screen. I can run everything after that no problem.

the problem is with the system tray, startup, and keystrokes... Is there any way to accomplish all of this with vb6?
