Title: RE: Screen Lock

Why not just use remote control software on another desktop, and shut the monitor off. Something free like VNC is lightweight and easy, and you can watch the box anytime you want without even having the monitor on. If you have your alerts and traps set up, then anything major that happens on that system is going to let you know about it anyways.   Clayton Doige IT Manager MCSE, MCP + I Gameday International N.V.  Bound in a nutshell, King of infinite space...

I do not think that there are screensavers for Win environment similar to UNIX's xlock, where the scrennsaver is transparent.  From what I remember, the pseudo-transparent screensavers from MS (like science and 60s from a plus pack) just capture the desktop image and display it without updating.   Andrey "Andrews, Gary - MLMC Toronto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 09/17/2001 02:55:46 PM   Please respond to "NT System Admin Issues"       <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>    To:      "NT System Admin Issues"           <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>  cc:      (bcc: Andrey Kalinin/FIS)    Subject: Screen Lock Does any one know of a screen saver that just locks out the keyboard and mouse, but will actively display the current window or desktop. I have a systems management computer that is in the open office and I would like to monitor it at the same time keep the workstation locked.
