I need to lock windows xp home ues vb 6.0

[kleinma]

try this

Private Declare Function LockWorkStation Lib "user32.dll" () As Long
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    LockWorkStation
End Sub

I tested on XP Pro because I do not have HOME, but it should work...

how is that simpler?? you can't really get much simpler than using the exact function that windows itself calls when you ctrl+alt+del

[dglienna]

that brings up Task Manager under Home with Ctrl-Alt-Delete

Anyways, he means LockDown..

well in PRO it doesn't lock the work station either... it brings up the option though.. was just making an example..

but I know what you are saying... HOME doesn't even give you that.. just brings up task manager... can you even LOCK home manually then?

WinKey + L. I asked someone before, and found out.
