Hey guys,
    I want to kno if any of you guys know the API call (NT/2000) to run the
screen saver as if the person was idle for x minutes? Cause I tried just
running the .scr file but then the password protection is not on.. anyone?

Hi,

You need to

SendMessage(hWnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_SCREENSAVE, 0);

where hWnd is the handle to any Window (eg a dialog box).  The password
protection *is* enabled, but on NT4 there seems to be a short delay
beforehand in which the screensaver can be aborted without a password.
I think this is to make it easier to abort the screensaver when it cuts
in when you don't want it.  So make the SendMessage call, wait about 2
minutes, and then it should be locked.
