Well i would do that but the fact of the matter is....
You cant make a program do things like that when it's locked because you could very easily make a proggie that unlocks it.
There has to be a api layin' around sumwhere....

Visual Programmer, sending CTRL-ALT-DEL is impossible. I am writing a macrorecorder and this is the only keystroke that can't be performed. I think it's a security issue. Maybe the keystroke is still queued, but ignored.

Yeah you can't use a global hook to catch CTRL-ALT-DEL
Its to make sure people don't hack the box or whatever

There's probably still a way to do it. For example, in a Citrix client you can remotely send CTRL-ALT-DEL.
Though not by using a 'simple' sendkey.

Hmmm.
Well yeah I'd say you can possibly send CTRL-ALT-DEL, because I know Microsoft NetMeeting can do it when you're controlling remote desktops. We use that for administering and fixing remote servers.
You just can't catch it is all... or so I read

 But if NetMeeting can send it...
Then NetMeeting can capture it...

I do this from a Windows9x machine. Win9x doesn't have that security "feature"

I was thinking about CTRL-ALT-DEL. It is a security feature built into NT - there's an article on that at MS. What if you replace the keyboard driver or something at a lower level with your own custom version?

Hmmm... though you'd have to not pass the keystrokes up to a higher level if it was ctrl-alt-del...
