Here's an app I made since I had trouble with installing uTorrent as
service on Windows 7.
Existing methods to lock the desktop after auto logon just call th
LockWorkStation function through rundll32.exe via some shortcut place
in Start Up or registry. That takes a while to lock depending on ho
bloated your Windows is and till then it just sits on the desktop. An
Safe Mode doesn't get locked since the start up items don't run in Saf
Mode. More importantly using rundll32.exe for these functions causes
stack corruption which will eventually crash the system or worse.
So I made a replacement shell (Windows starts lock.exe instead o
Explorer) which locks first and then launches Explorer in th
background. It also handles Safe Mode and Safe Mode with Command Promp
and detects and launches the x64 cmd.exe on an x64 system.
