I didn't write the code for the dll files that are used to make this work. I edited the source minimally to make them work with non-admins and I combined the two projects together into a simple installer. Here is where the source came from: http://www.paralint.com/projects/aucun/ http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprosecurity/thread/767d6d66-ed5f-4d59-b629-267f3ea1dcba/ That said, basically these allow any user to unlock a workstation when another user has locked it. NOTE: When I say unlock a workstation I mean in the traditional way an admin can -- by forcing logoff of the user. This allows a domain computer to be shared, with a password-protected timeout enabled, without having to create a generic username. This should work with anything from windows 2k to windows 8; x86 or x64. I have personally tested it on XP, 7-x64, vista-x64, and 8-x86. To install, run UserUnlock-Install.exe. There is no interface - it just runs, it can be run over an over without worry, so it's perfect to put into a startup script. You can uninstall using the included reg file and by deleting AdministrativeUnlock.dll or aucun.dll (depending on what version of windows) from system32 ~Grintor
