Status: offline 		I need to press the CTRL+ALT+DEL keys simultaneously to lock the system. I am quoting the script-snippet that i am using to achieve this below:

  Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
  WshShell.SendKeys "^(%({DELETE}))" 

Technically (as far as i know...) it has to work, but the code is not pressing the buttons (the code is compiled correctly).

If anyone can help me in this regard, it would be of great use....


Thanks a Lot in Advance,
Anoop P V.

I dont belive you are allowed to send "Ctrl+ALt+Del" via a script because of security issues.

Please read the following discussion for more info.

Actually, I need to unlock the computer by sending the CTRL+ALT+DEL keys, then enter the password by sending them to the active window (the system is in a network, so it needs to be unlocked), only then can i start the program automatically that i want to.

So the actual problem is "How to unlock an already locked system by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL keys???"

Thanks in Advance,
Anoop P V
