10 Points for ZK7... you saved me a day of work... THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
can a script made to work if the computer is lock??????
To put it simply when the PC is in a locked state Windows uses a sort of "alternate desktop" which contains no windows.
So, if you have scripts that use commands such as WinWaitActive, WinClose, Send etc., the script will not function correctly because there are no windows that exist in order to be acted upon.
I've gotten around this by creating a script that acts as a psuedo-lock screen. It covers the desktop with a black GUI window and locks out keyboard and mouse input except for one hotkey that allows be to input a password and "unlock" it. It also sends a mouseclick periodically to make sure that the PC doesn't automatically lock due to inactivity. Instead of locking the machine, I run this script. All scheduled scripts are then able to run behind my "locked" desktop./* ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| When a Windows XP PC is locked by CTRL-ALT-DEL or Win-L, the system does not merely initiate a screensaver. It actually initiates an alternate desktop (the winlogon desktop). This alternate desktop has no icons and no application windows can open on it. Therefore, it is not possible for AHK to manipulate windows or send keystrokes and mouseclicks because there is no active window when the system is locked. LockUP was written as a substitute to Windows' locked workstation state. LockUP allows the user to be compliant by disallowing unauthorized access to the PC, but at the same time allows AHK to manipulate windows as needed. The script does the following. -- Disables keyboard and mouse inputs -- Sets a password to unlock the station -- Creates a black colored window that covers the entire desktop -- Sends a mousemove every 10 minutes to prevent the system from entering Windows' locked workstation state. -- Handles TaskManager in the event someone tries to enter the system by killing the AHK process. -- Handles Remote Desktop lockout. This is needed because when disconnecting from a remote computer, that machine automatically becomes locked by Windows. -- Allows keyboard and mouse unlock via a hotkey combination which presents a GUI requesting the password to kill LockUP. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| */ #NoEnv ; Avoids checking empty variables to see if they are environment variables #Persistent DetectHiddenWindows, On SetTimer,TaskManager SetTimer,MMove, 600000 FileInstall, locked.bmp,%A_ScriptDir%\locked.bmp ; SET the quit hotkey ; Note: the quit hotkey MUST be based on at least one of these: Control, Shift, Alt QUIT_HOTKEY=~Escape Hotkey,%QUIT_HOTKEY%,ExitSub ; 'SET pwd' GUI Gui, Margin,-1,0 Gui, Add, Picture,Section,%A_ScriptDir%\locked.bmp Gui, Add, Text, Section ym+90 xm+50,This PC is about to be locked.

Hello everyone. i was hoping someone could assit with getting this script to work. i'm fairly new to the writing of scripts. i've tired placing this code into AUTOIT and creating an .exe file but i get a lot of errors.
