How would you get access to your pc?

2000 allows you to "lock" your system until you enter the administrators password, I'm sure XP would allow this too.

In win9X/Me you can lock the systems keyboard, but if you're using 2000 or XP, you can always CTRL-ALT-DELETE

What OS are you running?

win 2000

You can't do it in windows 2000. The best you can do is either to set up permissions or use the internal "lock", but you can't intercept a ctrl-alt-delete due to the way nt based windows run

Thank you gimsonic and issamtaher for the tips :) They are too good to be true. I am developing a software for a LAN house that blocks the mouse and keyboard input after the time has expired :) I was dealing with a couple of problems using Windows Hooks, but this is definitively easier. Thank you again
