    I have a example.htm page I would like to be visible after windows XP have been locked, using Cttl-Alt-Del. There seem to be limitations on the file type that can be used, mainly pictures. My htm document allows the display of live information from a server as a front end only, with no interactive access, which is what is required. But when the screen is locked or times-out after 5 mins and locks out I loose the display. The screen reverts back to the last know picture used or shows a blank page:(( I'm struggling as to where to look next for ideas, any help would be much appreciated.

      It is just my opinion, but I don't think it can be done. When the computer is locked, pretty much most things get locked down. I would think your best bet would be to create a screen saver and display the info you want with the screen saver. Ben

        I've been looking at screensavers, but need an application that only looks at local computer files and links set by admin rights only. The application can not have any option to connect to the internet or intranet as this causes security issues.
