Hi

I have a doubt and requirement, I want to know whether a Win2k/XP
system is locked or not from the registry.So I want to know which
registry key is set when a computer is locked and unlocked .

Thanks,
Nikhil

I don't think there is a registry value set specifically for "locked
state". BICBW

There may be other methods... Is this to be determined from a locally
running program? What OS and version?
