how to force logoff when workstation is locked?

In Vista, my service runs continuously. At times, it becomes necessary for
my service to forcibly logoff the user when the PC has been locked by the
user. How can this be accomplished programmatically?

Thanks

Try using the task manager, going to users, and selecting logoff.

The force logoff must be done programmatically not via manual user
intervention.

I don't believe it's possible due to the codepath in use during a
locked-workstation session.
