Monitor workstation locked

Post by BrianSmith »

I want to be able to run a RoboTask when the computer is locked.

A good habit of mine is to always lock my workstation when I walk away from it, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del

I am wondering whether I could cause a RoboTask to run when this happens.

I want to be able to set my status in MSN Messenger to away the moment I log off as an example.

Is it possible to monitor when the computer is locked with CTRL+ALT+DEL? I am thinking this might not be possible but just wanted to ask.

"Lock Workstation" does not equal "Logging Off". When you locked workstation all applications continues own work.
I see two ways of problem solving:

1. You may configure necessary task and start it by "On Idle" triggering event. When you locked workstation any mouse or keyboard events are ignored in your session.
2. You may create task which make some operation and then call "Lock Workstation" action. This task may be started by "Hot Key" or manually (by pressing Start button)
