    Windows Logon Authentication

    Where and how does windows handle its user logon authentication?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    I looked into this a while back, and all windows authentication is handled by Microsoft GINA (Graphical Interface Authentication or something like that) DLL. You can write a customised version of the msgina.dll (in windows directory) which controls everything from the ctrl+alt+delete screen to the lock computer utility.

    There is an example that you can download from Microsoft's website, (I think it's also hidden somewhere in MSDN). Its all C++ however, and I'm pretty sure you couldn't write a VB equiv.

    Hope this helps,
    George
