RE: [PCTECH] W2K Pro: background tasks run while Windows "locked"?

Dan,

Yes.  I have recently done just what you are wanting.  I start defrag, lock the 
machine, and go home for the night.  The next morning I unlock and defrag is 
done.

Subject: [PCTECH] W2K Pro: background tasks run while Windows "locked"?


Periodically, I would like to leave some long-running tasks running on my PC
(Defrag, AV scans, etc.) when I leave work for the day.  If I Ctrl-Alt-Del
to get to the "Windows Security" dialog, I have six option buttons, the
first of which is Lock Computer.  Clicking this locks Windows, requiring my
(or the net admin's) password to unlock it.

So, I'd like to be able to lock Windows in this way and have defrag or AV
scans work in the background.

Will this work?
