Lock Your Computer Even Faster And Better
Great script by Jon that locks your PC without using the built-in lock aka this is faster.
This script will lock the screen preventing anyone accessing your PC once the lock has been activated.
As soon as the script starts you will be prompted to set your password. This password will be used to unlock the screen.
When the lock is activated a dialogue will appear prompting you for your password. If you enter a wrong password then a message box will appear for five seconds saying the password is wrong and then the password dialogue will appear again. The screen will grey out whilst the screen is locked but will still be transparent. The task bar will be hidden.
If you forget the password while the computer is locked the press Alt+X to unlock it. To reset all of the settings to blank press Alt-R.
You can activate the lock manually through the tray menu. The lock can also be set to come on automatically after a certain amount of idle time like a screen saver does. Select the time setting from the “Auto-Activate” menu on the tray.
All of the settings are stored in a file called “lock” located on c:\. The password stored in this file is encrypted thanks to Rajats RC4 encryption script.
Hi, I’ve happen to stumble upon your website while searching for a solution to my problem
I wanna integrate my AHK into Firefox. Basically, it means AHK will be running on my Firefox, while I am doing my work. As the current situation is that while the AHK is running, I cannot do anything else on my computer.
Hi there,
Nice idea and execution.
However, some suggestions:
1. make it multi-monitor friendly; I could circumvent the script because my desktop is wider than the transparent blanket-screen.
2. make it optional to hide everything on locking and unhiding upon unlocking.
Just a thought
