XP Remote Desktop - Unlock screen on disconnect?

[SuperFreaky]

I want to remote desktop into an XP box, launch a program, disconnect and have the program show on the screen without input needed to unlock the screen.

Is this possible?

Remote Assistance won't work because I can't accept the offer...

I dont believe you can do this with remote desktop; it's designed to secure the sessions.

You could use a differant app that does not secure the sessions such as VNC or radmin to accomplish this.

I was afraid that would be the case

You should be able to do this.

Type: tscon.exe 0 /dest:consol in the run box to logoff and bring the session back to the way it was.

Sorry but where would you type this in? This would be very handy indeed.
