Hi, I'm doing a project which needs to lock the screen in a manner similar to the screen saver. However I need to be able to display the active desktop. I don't know much about win32 programming as unix is more my thing. I discovered the win32api module for python and I was just wondering if anyone had tried something similar using this? Any comments or suggestion would be welcome, because I really don't want to have start using vc++. Thanks, om _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activepython
