freeze computer

[sica]

how can I freeze the computer, without ending any task, and unfreeze it with a hot key or from a server????

you already know how, by using the screensaver with the password switched on.

the only problem is that most people know how to get past it (but not all).

I don't know. Enlighten me wossname. Please. There are those computers at RadioShack that demand my immediate attention. Besides, I've often thought that it was possible. Is it some strange key combination? Or maybe a universal password? Gah. Help.

Just run a loop that is continuos that uses alot of cpu processes.. such as graphics or something could do it...and to get out of it use a boolean ....Just make it check the boolean to see if its false in the loop each time and if its true when pressed the hot key it stops.. It will take a while to stop becuase the cpu is very busy but it will stop and your computer should come back close to normal... It wont be normal if you freeze a computer becuase you clogged all your resources up but it will come close..

Ewe! Eric! Dodgy way of doing it!!

Have a look at this program (http://members.xoom.com/mralston/downloads/temp/lockout/) I have made...it should give you some ideas... :)

Your link doesn't work! Maybe you mistyped it. What should it be?
