    detecting user log in and user unlock screen

    I have a program which always runs in the background. It is also executed automatically each time the computer starts. I want it to recognize when a user logs in, or when a user unlocks his screen, so that it can display a welcome screen. How is this possible?
    Does windows send any message to programs when someone unlocks the screen?

    thanks

    You cant detect when the workstation is unlocked but you can detect when there is activity. What OS is it running on and does it need multiple S version compatibility?
