Here is a simple 4D code snippet to lock the screen of a Windows computer:
// lock workstation on Windows If (Folder separator="\\") $cmd:="cmd.exe /c rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation" LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS($cmd) End if |
This code can be used to secure the machine and force the user to use CTRL+ALT+DEL to unlock it (assuming a password is enabled on the OS).
