On Win2k and XP, you press 'winkey+l' to lock the workstation. Well I want to replicate that (lock up the system/computer), only just with that user. So I want that exact function, but no admin login, just the current user--so I figured the best was to write a program. But I have no idea how to start (except the dialog).

you should set a KeyboardHook. Use SetWindowsHook.
