Windows screensaver with password protection?

[taoberly]

Hello,

I am hoping someone can point me to a certain piece of software,
preferably freeware. I am writing a script for my work computer
(WinXP) that generates a report every weekday and emails it, but I want
it to run automatically (in case I'm sick or go on vacation) before I
start work. Part of the script requires automating a program that
doesn't do its own scripting or macros, so I'm using a third-party
program (currently KeyText) that makes this happen, but KeyText needs
to "see" the screen to work. I don't have anything top secret on my
PC, but also don't want to leave it open for just anybody to use.

What I'm looking for is a screensaver or security program that uses its
own built-in password prompt, instead of using the Windows system.
(Hopefully it still integrates fairly well with the OS.) In this case
I can still protect my computer from passers-by, but use VBScript to
kill the exe from the Task Manager (I hope), reveal the desktop, and
generate the report, say, every weekday at 4:00 am.

Does something like this exist? I was first trying to find a way to
unlock Windows from within via a running VBScript, but finally decided
that wasn't going to work. I've gone hunting on the big
freeware/shareware sites, but only seem to find ordinary screensavers
and elaborate security systems with a price tag.

Thanks for any help,

Todd

Try AutoIT as the script engine. And then see what you have left to fix.
