Computer Lock: Another VB Project by Navigator256

This is one of the visual basic projects I made.
A computer lock (password protection)
When you lock your pc (with password) it will disable all keys that can stop the program (ctrl alt del, ctrl alt esc alt tab...)
That makes the program hacker-proof.
It's actually as safe as the Windows Logon.

If you have an idea for a new program, make a comment :).

Nice one, but Control+Alt+Delete can be used to open task manager. And Alt+F4 would close it.

[navigator256]

@TheBigDolphin1 Thats just what's so unique with this program! You cannot quit or open Task mgr. Only it seems like Windows 7 doesn't work anymore, so use either XP or Vista. I'm working on a patch for Windows 7.

[thescaryscreamers]

why I press CTRL + ALT + DEL, the task manager is opened

[navigator256]

@thescaryscreamers Weird, what OS are you using?

[TheBigDolphin1]

@navigator256 Yeah, I know, I have just downloaded it to test it.

I like the fact task manager doesnt work and stuff like that, but on VISTA/7 you can lock the computer anyway.

P.S. you can press ALT+F4. The only problem past that is getting things to show up. but open documents show. :)

@navigator256 Well it is the purpose of goign to ctrl alt del? no? So if you want to try to get in you use task manager ._. Since it will be killed you can't try. If you want to log out, no meaning either since you will need a password.

[navigator256]

@TheCoeckiefication01 Not really, if I press Alt + F4 it won't restart the app, because that would mean people have to enter their password that they want to use to lock the computer again, so it would be too easy to get out. I'm sorry, I don't have the original source anymore, but the taskmgr.exe was not even opened when you pressed a Ctrl alt del...

[TheCoeckiefication01]

Alt F4 can be stopped with using the button down event.

There you will be able to put something like

if e.keycode = keys.F4 then

application.restart()

end if

If it sees that you press F4 (with any other key) then it restarts the application.

not the best solution, but still good.

For example, you could let it make a state file, so when it restarts it goes to the state it was in (configs) when you "closed" it, so it looks like it was never closed. Apart that your window dissapeared for a sec. :D

[TheCoeckiefication01]

@navigator256 Top most would solve the tab and windows key. ctrl alt del can be stopped with process killing That to do when he tracks the process. (taskmanager) to track it, use a timer (1000 interval) with the following code: public class form1 dim process as process() for each process in process.getprocesses if process.tolower.contains("task­") then system.diagnostics.process.get­fromid(process.id).kill() end if next Something like that ^-^ You can work it out for yourself i guess :O

[thescaryscreamers]

@navigator256 new version of windows 7.

[Habbsurf]

it didn't protect...
