how to switch the user with EG?

Post by Marco_dvb »

Hi!
I use Vista and have created different users (for me, my children and one for watching TV with the dvbviewer).
As Eventghost doesn't run as a service it is ok for me to log on one time with the TV User and remain this user logged on.
Then everybody can work on this machine with his own user.
Now it should be possible by pressing a button on the remote (its a X10 and it works already great with the dvbviewer) to automatically switch to the TV User and start the dvbviewer.
Is there somebody who has an idea? Or maybe explain that it is impossible?
I tried it already with key-combinations (Win-L for lock and the right key to switch to the TV User, enter password) but it was only possible to lock the machine.

Or is it also possible to run eventghost as a service because then the first step (log on with the TV User to start Eventghost is no longer necessary)?

Thanks a lot.
Marco
