I want a way to open the log off/ switch user dialog box via a shortcut just like when you click the log off button on your start menu. I only want ways to show the Windows dialog... I already know all the scripting methods to simply log off. Any Ideas? Anyone? Attached Image (Click thumbnail to expand) -------------------- KMDonlon@Samurize.com

This is the only way I know of to open the built-in "Log Off Windows" dialog. It briefly flashes the Start menu though.

CODE

set osh = wscript.CreateObject("wscript.Shell")

osh.Sendkeys "^{ESC}" 'Ctrl+ESC
osh.Sendkeys "{l}" 'l

A plugin could potentially be made to allow for a custom dialog which has the same function.

you mean this?
guess how it's triggered.

That's working on XP Professional SP 2, dunno what you have.

CODE

'-------------------------------------
' log off the box
'-------------------------------------
function logoffthebox
Set Shell = WScript.CreateObject ("Shell.Application")
Shell.ShutdownWindows
end function

on error resume next
set shll = Wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objArgs = wscript.Arguments
if objArgs.Count = 1 then
if objArgs(0) = "logoffthebox" then
call logoffthebox()
end if
end if

>> link input where you'd like: wscript.exe scripts\<yourscriptfile.vbs> logoffthebox

*edit: missed the stupid end if at the end User posted image

Maybe enabling fast user Switch does the Trick, but I don't know. -------------------- USER MIGRATED TO SAMURIZE.US

I missed it as well and gave him my Samurize-powered shutdown dialog and it wasn't what he wanted either (even though he thought it was cool) -------------------- My feature requests: ------------------------- - Commandline Positioning - Got it! - Config Grouping - Configs appear in Taskbar - Advanced Data in Tooltips - Does this already! - Client and Plugin Broadcasting - (PluginPak) Minibrowser Additions #1 - (PluginPak) Minibrowser Addition #2 - Special Script Inputs -------------------------
