Title: Screen Saver (sort of) with FF
Post by: Mark Strickland on August 18, 2012, 06:13:54 PM
I need a program that would be system modal like a Screen Saver to lock the screen of a machine.  I do not want to lock it by the password of the logged on user (in an Active Directory domain) but with a "common" password.  This is sort of a Kiosk environment but each user logs on with their own account.

Can a system modal program be built with FF?  I have looked on the PB forums and there are a few screen savers but I have not tried any.  I don't even want any "fancy" graphics but just to lock the machine if the user walks away for a few minutes.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

I assume you're looking for something like Gary posted?

That seems pretty straight forward (I think).

The next FF update will even have a nice new Graphic control so you can do "fancy" graphics if you need it. :)
