RE: Transparent Screen Lock for Win NT/2000/XP

I played with it a little since it was nicer than the Clear Screen Saver by MS. However, if you are running virtual desktop software, it only locks the desktop you're on, not the others. Hence, I could bounce my mouse and get to my secondary desktop that was completely active even though my primary desktop was locked and protected. That was the kicker for me, at least on client machines.
