If I use Windows Remote Desktop in Vista the screen on the host computer gets locked. Is there a way for autohotkey to send my password as if it was send by the physical keyboard and unlock the computer remotely?

Everything I tried has resulted in autohotkey sending my password as if it was send from the client pc...

Hopefully someone has a solution...

I guess you're out of luck here. The RDP remote session will lock the host box once you disconnect. Confused

You might have a chance to trigger the locked box with psexec to forcefully restart the box so it logs in using TweakUI's auto login option ...

When the session is locked the password screen runs in a separate desktop process.

Programs such as PSEXEC allow you to start programs in this desktop window, I have never got round to testing, but perhaps starting your ahk script in this way will work.

I have a feeling that all virtual input is blocked though.

Put this in the run command in the desktop that you remote into. %windir%\system32\tscon.exe 0 /dest:console
