NOLOCKWS Description

The NOLOCKWS application was designed to be a program to modify msgina.dll in order to inactivate the Lock Workstation button in the Windows NT Security (Ctrl-Alt-Del) dialog. Especially for large PC pools in universities or schools it is very annoying when users lock their NT workstations, leave, and forget to come back. Subsequent users have the choice of resetting the PC or calling an administrator who can unlock the workstation. While lots of Windows NT settings can be changed through the registry, disabling the Lock Workstation button in the Windows NT Security (Ctrl-Alt-Del) dialog seems to be forgotten. Some time ago, I suggested a method how to overcome this: load msgina.dll from the winntsystem32 directory with a resource editor (which come with most C++ compilers for Windows) and modify the window style attributes of the Lock Workstation button in dialog #1000 or #1650 (this is the Windows NT Security dialog) for NT 3.51 or 4.0 resp. However, this is cumbersome, dangerous (a corrupt msgina.dll may prevent the system from booting properly), and not everybody has a resource compiler to hand. Therefore I decided to write a program that automates this task. Warning! NOLOCKWS simply disables the Lock Workstation button in the Windows NT Security dialog. However, there are other ways to lock the workstation. A user could set a password protected screen saver in Control Panel/Display. You can avoid this with the System Policy Editor (poledit.exe). But unless you use very strict policies, an experienced user could write a little program that sets the screen saver options through registry API calls and starts the protected screen saver immediately
