This screenshot was not edited in any way. I managed to allow the user to play my game without even logging in! :lol:
Talk about forceful limitations.. and they thought they were gonna play solitaire.

Are you sure your not pullin' our legs? I didn't even know you could take screenshots at the log-in screen... :shock:

EDIT: Nevermind... Seems you CAN take screens at the log in screen. But which log in screen did you take the screenshot in? The "Switch User" or the first screen when you boot up your computer.

Lol, I thought so. The project has been under development on and off since January and now that I'm in college I doubt it will ever get much farther, but it was originally a simple application to play with lua scripts and I haven't had much reason to rename it. 8-)

The welcome screen is essentially just a full screen program with a little extra security :P. Windows is still running in the background and it's not all that difficult to run whatever program you want without logging in, although generally motives for doing so are different from mine.

Yeah for example, (on vista at least) if you boot into another operating system, say a linux distribution and then replace one of their accessibility programs with cmd.exe (keeping the name) then when you press the keyboard shortcut in the login screen that normally brings up said accessibility program you can get a console window and run programs...
