Windows XP Lock with Screen still up.

[Parkre]

Is there a way to lock windows xp, but still have the screen shown?

I want to do this so that people can look at some information on screen, like a FireFox or IE webpage. Or just some word documents thrown up.

Dumb idea and I don't know how it would work...

Have the documents as the screensaver? You could rotate them, etc.

Once upon a time, I heard of a transparent screensaver, made for this exact reason. Sorry I have no solid leads, but maybe that helps with the search.

Fast User Switching is the only way I can think of to achieve this.

I found exactly what I was looking for, after mechBgon mentioned "transparent."
