Hello all, So I got busy doing other things, and I just got back to this earlier this week. I thought that I would post back to the list with my results. It turns out the only way I was able to find to do this, was through GUI automation. After studying some of the open source VNC code, I was able to figure out how to switch desktop's to the 'Winlogon' desktop and send a ctrl-alt-del key sequence. From there, it was a relatively simple matter of using the winGuiAuto.py code (freely available on the internet) to grab the handle of the logon box, find the handles of the username and password entries, stuff my username and password into the entries, then click the ok button. Of course none of that can work, unless you are running as the SYSTEM user, because it seems even Administrator users to not have the correct permissions to access the Winlogon desktop. I can post some sample code, if anybody is curious. -Matt _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
