Am I right, that you only have to real API examples, namely: LockWorkStation()
and SHShutDownDialog()? Well, that's really 'few', but good code anyways. Maybe you want to add a few other API calls?

Why even post such code examples as API, sounds a hell more interesting than it actual is. Why don't we all agree that the methods like LockWorkStation() are bound to Windows and would not run on other platforms, but they ain't that complex. Every newbie would be able to find them quickly so posting things like that just clutters PSC :-(

Great handy tool... But can you also add codes for ShutDown; Reboot; LogOff?

I'm starting to program the with .NET for the windows API. I'm well versed with Visual studio 6 and the windows API. I've notice the api viewer is abscent in .NET. What is your strategy for developing unmanged apps with .NET. Any advice on where to start?

Thanks,
