Author Locking the PC (Screen) with Java???

Hello,

does anybody know here if it is possible to lock the system with java? i
would like to lock the screen respectively the complete system with my java
(1.4) application, so that the user can't do anything until he entered the
correct password. Even Ctrl+Alt+Del should not be available for the user.

best regards
Sarah

You could use SaverBeans SDK to write a screen saver which should
integrate with the platform's own screen saver locking mechanism (though
I've never tried it)
