Re: Replacing msgina.dll?

It's a hidden user account and profile. Both the user profile and
account are hidden from Windows until a hotkey is pressed. Then the
profile and account are restored to allow a normal login. A service
re-hides the account upon log off. A patent is pending on the process
and it's operational now, but I'd like the ability to login directly
from the Windows logon screen, rather than logging in as an
interactive user first.

The 2 issues are:
1. Listening for the hotkey. Registerhotkey from a service fails with
"This operation requires an interactive windows station", so I'll have
to find another way. From what I understand, winlogon.exe uses
RegisterHotkey for Ctrl+Alt+Del. How does it do this before an
interactive user is logged in?

2. Assuming I find a way to capture keystrokes, is it not possible to
refresh the logon screen?
