I'll avoid thread hijacking till tomorrow.


Since Bitt seems to have solved his problem, would it be OK if I hijacked the thread? Just a little bit?

I just tried (for the first time) to VNC into my work computer from home. My work computer is running Win2K, home computer WinXP.

I always lock my work computer when I leave it, so that the message about "...computer is locked and can only be opened by God..." or some such is displayed. I have to key in ctrl-alt-del and enter a password to unlock it.

So, here I am at home, looking at the lock message, thinking, "Hey, it worked." I enter ctrl-alt-del to get to the password dialog box, and of course the only thing that happens is that it opens up the Windows task manager on my home computer.

Do I have to leave my work computer unlocked in order to VNC into it from home, or is there a workaround to this?
