USB wireless PC security lock

This is kind of cool:

I note that it is not designed for (aka doesn't work with) multi monitor systems which means its no good for me - bummer, I'm such a gadget geek I'd buy one of them in a heartbeat if I could use it even though Windows 2000 and XP already have a 'Lock Computer' option accessed via ctrl/alt/del.

Sandi, do you want to try an advance copy of a tool I'm writing for this device? It locks the computer. That's all. It does the regular LockWorkstation, so it works on multiple monitors. It's user-mode, so it doesn't require an admin to install anything.
Drop me a line and let me know...

Alunj,

I know I wasn't part of this original conversation, but I was looking at this same device and am running into the same problem that Sandi stated.  I just wanted this device to do a regular LockWorkstation.  Did you ever get your program to work?
