This program doesn't work under Vista.
Then:
- it doens't allow you to access task bar items
- it disables Task Manager and then SURPRISE ->
-- Next time you log-on, it is ALREAdY loaded thru the Run reg key and takes over your computer (No Task MANAGER)
This is not a DEMO program behaviour. More likely a Trojan virus behaviour. Way to go!

Ok there is more.
For those who had the luck to run this TROJAN, after you get rid of this crap, you still cannot access Task Manager. See my previous post and look at the Run reg key to find its location.
Then, take a look at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableTaskMgr regkey -- Make it 1 (it will be zero, as mr Khrysashyap disabled it with his awesome tool)
I have never seen such a DEMO program that can screw up your computer and not warn you for anything! And not on this site!
I would have appreciated some MessageBoxes - "Do you want to stop using Task Manager?" "Do you want me to allow to screw up your system with my awesome LockStation app?"
Thanks, Mr. Khrishnayap. Awesome programming. I would advise you to read some GUI guidelines on how an application is designed and how it would behave on your clients computer.
Or better yet, go back to 5th grade and learn some real MFC.

Dear Mr. SB2003 -
I appreciate your criticism, but before using any third party program on your computer you should go thru all the details provided with the program/application. In the NOTES section, it's clearly mentioned that the program hacks some registry entries to disable to Task Manager, I am not sure if you have gone thru those details. If you dont like it, dont use it. Thanks!!

You don't have to appreciate anything. There is no problem in trying to "hack" as you mention some reg keys. As in "changing values" like how I will put it.
The idea is to present it to the user, let him know... what if someone uses your app and there is no web page like here to describe your program ?
Let the user know and CHANGE the KEY VALUE BACK when your app exists! That's what's normal!
Cheers

I have my PC set up so that when I press ctrl-alt-del, the Windows Security Dialog comes up. The default button is lock PC. So I press enter to lock the work station.
No code necessary. Simple. No new password to remember.

Hello,
I can't seem to find the total source, only the Locking Part.
You wrote a perfect program in my opinion, but i'd really like to look at the Source of the total program (including the Visual Parts)
Can you e-mail me with some more details?

Thanks

How can I get this thing to run without calling it from start up. I am asking this because I know that you can hold down the shift key and by pass the start up. Can you not call it from the registery? Not sure how to do that. Please advice.
Thanks.

When You restart locked computer, the changes are still in registry… And C+A+D is still blocked...
You must add variable in registry which will tell you, that program was terminated wrong way, and automatically undo changes. Program is in Autorun so he can test this variable when You launch Windows.
When You unlock the computer, variable should be set to 0 which will tell, that lock was terminated correctly.
P.S.
Sorry for my English.

But welcome back with a cool article!

If you want to be even more annoying with the lockworkstation thingy, setup a timer that always put this window always on top. That way you always know that this window is the first in the z-order

OK, so lets look at some of your submissions.
Oh, quelle surprise, you haven't posted any articles, and your comments aren't up to much either.
Try being more constructive, and taking the time to read and understand the article, and the concepts it is demonstrating before just trashing it.

Most people would achieve much more if only they weren't so small-minded
