Question

See more:

hi I want to create a VB.net app that will run on the windows
scheduler to do the following:
Unlock windows (basically sending the CTRL + ALT + Delete
keystrokes)
enter a username and password.

Or just call an API function or something to unlock
windows passing it the username and password as parameters
(if needed).

Please advise how to do this or when can I get more info
on this.

thanks

Can't be done. You cannot unlock a workstation from code.
