Does anyone know of a way that I can lock my computer without a screensaver being shown?
I run some graphs that I like to check every now and then from a distance. But I don't want other people to have access to the computer.
I would love if there was a way to basically disable the keyboard and mouse - or activate the locked screen once any mouse or keyboard activity is detected and require a login.
Does anyone know how I could do this?
Do you want to see the graphs once the lock is on? Windows Key + L will lock your PC and will require the login credentials but it will display whatever is the default Windows setting for that instance. – Darius – 2012-07-29T19:51:17.020
1Yes I want to see the graphs while the lock is on. They update every few seconds - it's similar to watching stocks. – Alex Waters – 2012-07-29T20:23:49.920
I suppose I could write a script to trigger windows key + L whenever mouse or keyboard action is detected. Would VBscript be best for this? My windows scripting days are long forgotten. – Alex Waters – 2012-07-30T05:31:14.440
I think PowerShell will work better. I will try looking into that. – Darius – 2012-07-30T06:08:32.093
