floyd Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 What do you mean by "lock keyboard and mouse"? How are you planning on doing this? And a Happy Easter to you too Bob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m204prgmr Posted March 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Hi Floyd, I thought when I wrote the question that the option was there, but I see now it's not. Might be my mistake. OK, another question then, will macro's run if the PC is locked via CTRL-ALT-DEL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floyd Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I'm not sure. In looking at the XP help system, it says that programs continue to run when using fast user switching, which we use here. It also says that in order to use computer locking, fast user switching has to be off. I can only suggest that you try it. Create a macro that does something for a period of time, like slowly increment a variable, fire it up, then lock the computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
