Invoking the Windows Security Dialog (in C# or VB.NET)

Question

I would like to know how to invoke the Windows Security Dialog (press ctrl+alt+del on a windows workstation NOTE: I don\'t want the task manager!) programmatically.

Answer 1

You can try call WlxLoggedOnSAS function from GINA or WlxSasNotify from WinLogon. But, I afraid it won't work. But, maybe it will lead you to working method. And it definitely will not work in Vista/W7.

In other side, it might be that Windows Security Dialog can be called only by secure attention sequence ( ctrl+alt+del) by securytt reasons.
