Greetings.
Yesterday I worked out how to incorporate KeyboardLocker
KBL into the scripts of mine that previously "locked" the computer
with BlockInput (which of course can be undone with Alt-Ctrl-Del).

AHK can generate "random" un/lock passwords
(that of course I would know - knowing the "algorithm") and
launch KBL with these passwords via the KBL command line; e.g.,
Code:
Lock = A_DD*A_MM*A_YYYY
unL = (A_DD*A_MM*A_YYYY)/2
Run, KeyboardLock.exe -autolock -l %Lock% -u %unL%, Programs\KeyboardLock

So far KBL seems reliable, effective and flexible ...
KBL does not disable the screen,
so my screensaver script can invoke KBL without disabling the screensavers ...

Is there any reason you don't use the standard windows lock screen?
I just send Win+L and it'll lock my screen for me...
But each to their own I guess... I just like using built in features instead of adding programs to bloat my system.
