    Is This Possible?

    (Yes I Know This Is A Duplicate Thread, I'm Going Away For The Week And Wanted To Get It Up, You Can Delete The Other Thread)

    So what i was thinking of doing is this

    1. Creating A Program That Will Run On Startup (easily done)
    2. Said Program Will Lock The Computer if inactive for set ammount of time (changed with a slider)
    3. Program Unlocks With Password That Is Set (No Idea How To Do)
    4. Make Program Unclosable So You Cant Alt-F4 Out Of It (No Clue)
    5. Make It Check If The Browser Is Running A Flash Video So It Doesn't Lock While Watching Youtube Or Check If A Certain File Extension Is Running Then Dont Lock(No Idea)

    Just Checking To See If It's Possible Before I Do It.

    Basic Screen Design

    Home Screen: http://puu.sh/1u6xL
    Settings Screen: http://puu.sh/1u6BF

    Things I Dont Know How To Do

    1. Adding It To The Registry Startup, Would That Make AV's Have A Heart Attack?
    2. Changing The Slider Values
    3. The Explorer To Choose Only Picture Files (jpg,png,so on) and not .docs and stuff
    4. Would I Really Have To Encrypt The Passwords?
    5. Where Would I Save Said Passwords? Or Would I Make An Installer?

    Why not just use a "Requires Login" screen-saver?

    Btw what is up with starting every word in capital letters?

    #EDIT: Just realized what you meant with the 2nd part

    In truth, a mature man who uses hair-oil, unless medicinally , that man has probably got a quoggy spot in him somewhere. As a general rule, he can't amount to much in his totality. (Melville: Moby Dick)

    First off, EVERYTHING is possible, just need to find a way. However i do see one thing that maybe an issue, the Alt + F4 key combination is a windows event not part of the program so that part would be hard.

    What is the program for? just watching you tube?

    Cheers
