G'day everyone

I'm using AutoHotKey (AHK) to write some scripts, and I'd like one of
my scripts to call the Windows Security dialog. This dialog can
usually be called using Ctrl+Alt+Del, but AHK can't call that
particular key-combination. So I'm wondering if there is any other way
to call the Windows Security dialog... perhaps a commandline option, or
a TweakUI-type of Control Panel option, or an existing EXE I can run
from somewhere. Can anyone help, please?

Thanks
Samuel

PS I'm using Windows XP SP2, but if the method can also be used on
Windows 2000 SP4, then it'd be great!

download and run Process Explorer

Run what you want to find the exe for.

Double click on the process, reading it's image and command line
will tell you what program is being run - you don't need the rundll
lead up just the final exe. msc, cpl, etc...

That said, Ctrl+Alt+Del isn't a normal command, IIRC it's a bios call.
which an NT OS intercepts.
