I am trying to be able to detect if a XP workstation is locked and apparently this code does it.

http://www.winbatch.com

Do you think it would be possible to port to vbscript?

Don't worry vbscript can't do it and Winbatch sux you have to pay for it. Besides I got hold of some c# books and knocked up a little command line utility that does it instead.
I am still actively scripting but my aspirations are mastering c# and Powershell one day. But both seem to be a more massive jump than what vbscript ever was.

I don't remember seeing this back in August, but it can also be done via AutoIT, which is free.

Found this on AutoIT's forums and is just a snippet from a much larger script

; If the system is locked then reset the timer
checkLock()

Func checkLock()
$locked=DllCall("user32","Long","OpenInputDesktop")
If $locked[0] = 0 Then $start = TimerInit()
EndFunc
