What it is:
ClearLock is a transparent screen locker aimed to make the computer tech/system admin's live easier by providing a way to disable input to a computer while still allowing you to see what is going on.

What it isn't:
ClearLock is not a security system. its purpose is to keep meddling users from screwing with the computer when you are fixing it. It will not keep your computer/data safe from someone who is determined to get at it.

Basic functions can be configured with the script interface and advanced configuration can be done through the editing the .ini, using the /config switch or using the Config Desktop shortcut.

Bug reports needed, suggestions/praise/criticism welcome.

Have fun!

Hello,
I've some issues to raise:

1 - Autorun: The AddAutoRun command it's set with StartMode option set to 1 (Wait for the program to finish running but show any window used by the program. This is the default start mode) this means that nothing starts until I write the password (neither shell or PENetwork config), it would be better if set to 2(Don't wait for the program to run but show any window used by the program) or better set an option in the interface.
2 - Password: I'm creating an x86 build but my system it's an x64. When it comes to set the password, the script launch the exe directly from the target folder causing a DLL error on userenv.dll (that in build mode it's already in the target folder). My suggestion is to run the configuration in a temp directory and then copy all to the target dir. It should not rise errors.
3 - Explorer Shell: if I use this type of shell (not tried with others) and I want to use the lock in startup mode, I shold setup the taskbar in autohide mode elsewhere, when shell starts, the portion of screen occupied by the taskbar (so the quicklaunch etc.) it's not locked out. There's a way to fix this issue?

Anyway thanks for great work and sorry for my BAD English -.-'

For 2) this is what I changed:

// Set Password

If,Not,%TB_Password%,Equal,"",Begin

  ExtractFile,%ScriptFile%,%SourceArch%,%ProgramEXE%,%ScriptDir%

  ShellExecute,Hide,%ScriptDir%%ProgramEXE%,"/setpassword %TB_Password%",%ProgramFolder%

  FileCopy,%ScriptDir%ClearLock.ini,%ProgramFolder%ClearLock.ini

  FileDelete,%ScriptDir%%ProgramEXE%

  FileDelete,%ScriptDir%ClearLock.ini

End

Anyone get this to work in PE5  (Windows 8.1 PE), the lock executes before it gets out of the Administrator Welcome screen and you cannot get on the system?
