    Ok, if anyone knows of a tutorial on the web or if anyone is brave and patient enough to explain it, that would be great.

    I have a tutorial at http://micah.carrick.com/archives/VBSaver.zip that covers everything you need to know from the command line parameters, disableing cursor, checking for other instances, detecting only large mouse movements, and other basic stuff. It does not however get into detail on how to get windows password of display a preview in the mini window in desktop properties. It's all in Windows HLP format and includes source code (sample project) fully commented.

    Good luck.
