Screen shot of ctrl+alt+del

[Liz]

Anyone have any idea how I can get a screen shot
of ctrl+ alt+ del.

I am trying to put a newsletter together for users
regarding proper locking of a workstation and when you
pull up ctrl+alt+del, you can't get a screen shot.

I also tried looking on Microsoft's webpage. no luck.

Remote Desktop to another machine that is at the Ctrl+Alt+Del screen. Use
Alt + Printscreen to capture the active Window then paste into Paint Shop
Pro (or similar).

Hi Liz,

I use Virutal PC or VMWare to capture the logon screen. You can also use
Terminal Services for some screens (not logon, but you can take screen shot
of locked screen).

I hope this helps,

Mike

Sure you can. On my keyboard it's a simple matter of pressing shift + PrtScn and then opening clipbrd and there it is. You can either drag the shortcut to clipbrd found in your windows\system32 folder to the desktop or right click on clipbrd.exe and then create a shortcut you can drag to the desktop or go>start\run and type in clipbrd and then hit ok or enter on your keyboard. The screen shot of the task manager will be displayed. You don't need to press ctrl+alt+del to get the task manager either. Simply right click on your task bar at the bottom and then click task manager and you get the same thing or once again go>start\run and type in taskmgr and click ok or hit enter on you keyboard. Have fun. }:~) I should mention that this will take an entire screen shot not just an area so you will need to optimize the task manager to full screen before you do the PrtScn or you get all the background as well. You can save this as a bmp and edit it or even a jpg and then edit it. There are some free programs out there that work well one I used to use is CaptureWiz but I don't know if it's even still around.

Getting a screen shot of the task manager doesn't work any
differently than with any other window. In case you're not
familiar with how to take screen shots in general, read my
standard reply below:

Back in the days of DOS, the PrintScrn key used to print the
screen. But in all versions of Windows, this works differently,
and the name of the key is now an anachronism.

To use the key, press it to capture an image of the entire
screen, or press alt-PrintScrn to capture an image of the active
window. Either one captures the image to the Windows clipboard.
Once it's in the clipboard you can paste (Ctrl-V) it into any
application that supports graphics (Windows Paint, other graphics
programs, even your favorite word processor). You can edit or add
to the image as you wish, then print it.

This ability to manipulate the image in a program before printing
it is an improvement over the original DOS method of just
printing it. But if you'd like that old facility back, there are
several third-party freeware/shareware programs that can do this,
such as PrintKey2000
(http://www.sharewarejunkies.com/00zwd2/printkey2000.htm).

Press PrintScrn key
Start Paint (start > all programs > accessories > paint)
Press ctrl-V

Hmm. I've never seen Print Screen capture the Windows security screen. Don't know why it is working for you lot. It shouldn't work as ctrl-alt-del is Kernel level and shouldn't allow short cut keys to work.

PrintScrn just captures whatever is allowed to be displayed on the screen.

Task Manager could always be disabled completely if security is an issue

Are you certain you have captured the windows security screen? The question was not about the task manager, but the Windows security screen where you can lock the computer/change password etc.

Apologies ..my mistake.... you are correct.

From the moment you click the "Lock Computer" option, PrintScrn appears to
be disabled.

Also tried to capture it using the following vbs script in conjunction with
an ActiveX object making API calls to capture the screen. That didn't
capture it either (ie running the script, waiting one minute and then
relogging on). Last screen captured was at the point where you click the
"Lock Computer" option.

'*********************************************
set ScreenCapture = WScript.CreateObject("Screen.Capture")
time1 = Now

do
if minute(now) - minute(time1) > 0 then wscript.quit
ScreenCapture.PrintScreen
loop
'**************************************


where the ActiveX component (with ProgID "Screen.Capture") consisted of the
following Visual Basic code to capture the screen to clipboard


Option Explicit

Private Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32" (ByVal bVk As Byte, ByVal _
bScan As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)

Private Const VK_SNAPSHOT = &H2C

Sub PrintScreen()
keybd_event VK_SNAPSHOT, 1, 0, 0
End Sub

question was not about the task manager, but the Windows security screen

Think XP Pro behaves differently to XP Home too. The security screen doesn't
appear in XP Home. Not clear from the original post which is being used.
