lock computer and activate screensaver in one go

  • Thread starter Thread starter fr@nk
  • Start date Start date
Running a screen saver is easy:
c:\windows\system32\ssstars.scr /s

Before you run it go into Control Panel > Display, and make sure the screen
saver is password protected
 
I look for script / prog (freeware) to lock and start screensaver in
one go
There's a great program called Black.exe ( think it's in the
Pricelessware list ) that acts as locked screensaver using bitmaps of
your choice. What's particularly good about it is that it doesn't show
a prompt for the password.
With a captured screenshot of the desktop you can lock the computer
without it being at all evident that there's a screensaver
active...just appears as though the computer has locked up. You can
specify to leave the mouse active too.


Only works on W9X though...

I would like to use my win screensaver, and just lock down at the same
time, and looking for a (multiple ) command to achieve.
Is this something you can advise on ?
