Thank you very much to all of you for the fast replies and the help and hints!!!

I think you are right - I would have to write my own GINA!
and yes not in VB Wink | ;-)

I will stop to investigate here because also when we would found a solution for XP would GINA not work for vista! Means I will give up at this point and think about a service.

More details about my project:
The program on the locked PC contains a 3rd party VNC Server component. (Now should it be clear what I am trying to do, or?)
The application with the VNC Server component listens for VNC connections.
This works fine as long as the pc isnt locked!

But what when the pc is just turned on WITHOUT once a user logged in?
In this situation would my application not run and would not be able to unlock the PC - independently what ever solution we would found!
Means I need a sercive! This service starts (on request) a simple application which contains "only" the VNC server component.
But here we have also some problems:
There isnt a desktop where the application could run "in".
My solution -hopefully: The service starts the application under different user rights (with different credentials; keyword: "CreateProcessWithLogonW").
When this works, runs the application hopefully in a "virtuell" desktop and listens for VNC connections.
The "other side" can then connect to the VNC server, would then see(!) the locked PC and would be able to unlock it.
But this is all theory - I have to test.

What I already tried is to start such an application under that user/rigths under thats a service runs, means under the SYSTEM account. I see then in the taskmanager that the application runs - but I am not able to connect to the VNC server....


I let you all know the details - when I have some ... but now: "Thank god its friday! Watching TV and drinking beer!" Wink | ;-) (J.J.Cale)
