Hi,

when users click the 'lock desktop' icon in the systemtray, the (password protecte"d) screensaver is instantly displayed. When we configure an application 'Lock Desktop' (%systemroot%\system32\rundll32.exeuser32.dll,LockWorkStation), the same behaviour is experienced in the Powerfuse Shell. In the Windows shell however, the default Windows locked logon screen is displayed.

What command can we use to configure an application with the exact same behaviour as the 'lock desktop' from the system tray?

Hi Psterk,
There might very well be another rundll32 commandset to use, but I haven't researched it. As default I usually include this little gem as part of my PowerFuse custom ressources:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html

Notice it has a commandline: nircmd.exe screensaver which should do what you are looking for. If it works, great then that's a nice interim fix. I would suggest you log a ticket with RES to ask for this though. Another feature request is always nice
