Here�s the deal, we have a requirement at our work place that states that if someone is away from their machine for longer than 30 min � the screen saver comes on. This windows screen saver requires them to log back in to get back to the desktop.
Problem is � some people might be away from their desk � perhaps lunch � for an extended period. If they left some bit of software locking a record and causing problems to other users, there is no way to get back to their desktop at all (other than knowing their password / login).
If you put another user name and password in there, you can get to A desktop, but not theirs, and all the software running on their machine is rather rudely shut down in the process � causing problems with half entered records or corrupted files.
If I could have a
Java screen saver running and a supervisor group set up on the NT domain that would allow certain people to login (via Java) and return to the original desktop, they could then gracefully close down the software that was left open, or release locks � etc.
