Unlock Workstations from EventGhost environment

Post by Pako »

I found an interesting utility which allowed me to create a new EG action - Unlock Workstation.
This means that you can unlock a locked workstation for example by remote control or by the scheduler,
timer and so on. Unfortunately, it does not work on Windows Vista and Windows 7

To try it, you must do the following steps:
1) Change __init__.py file in the folder plugins\System.
2) Download file MyUnlocker.zip
3) expand the zip file and his contents (folder MyUnlocker) put into EventGhost folder
4) Run the install.bat file, located in the MyUnlocker folder
5) Restart Eventghost
6) Into the configuration tree EG add macro (action) System/Unlock Workstation
7) Adjust the necessary parameters in a dialog box (user, password and hot-keys for the user and password fields at login screen).
More details can be read here.
