    Very cool, Edwin. *Smile

    I knew you could find something to do. *Biggrin

    Works well. Tried it on the sign in screen, but that didn't work. Wonder why?

    The sign in screen is, I think, protected by The same system as used by the UAC that only allows access to the sign-in box or related screen components *Wink

    Most likely. Could also be that at the sign-in screen, nobody is there yet except the system. No users. To copy that Prt-Screen image to a clipboard, there needs to be an active user clipboard. Just a guess.

    Both valid points, I do not know splashtop but I think I could do the same with Teamviewer when the admin option to display screen during logon is set so anything with similar access should work. Not sure about the built in RDP as I don't think it gives full access to the remote login screen ( not tested so just thinking aloud)

    The lack of a clipboard would I would say would be a good reason for not being able to copy a screen *Smile

    [edit I did not think I could get the word "Would" in a sentence three times so have edited it ]

    Realizing you posted after this, but the system is locked, not signed out. Obviously no UAC protection on the lock screen.

    So therefore the primary device has total control, even over the UAC. Interesting. One could secretly install anything on the remote device without any knowledge of the owner or would the owner still have to approve the UAC before any install?

    I would say the lack of a clipboard may be a good reason for not being able to copy a screen *Smile

    There. I fixed it for you. *Wink

    If the clipboard is present on a locked system then why would it not be present on the sign-in screen? I mean I'm the user signed in within both modes. Could it be that the system is focused on the sign-in box, therefore can only receive that command and no other?

    If there is a way, you would be sure to find it. *Smile

    On a lock screen, the user is still signed in, clipboard available. At the sign-in screen, the user is not signed on yet, no clipboard.

    The virtualisation security system that is used to implement UAC is loaded and started on system start so could be used to prevent access to data in a login screen as it is when the UAC Prompt is invoked although the lack of a clipboard would be more likely to be a decider

    A locked screen is under the control of a User account, whereas there is is no user logged in, (apart from system accounts) in the case of the primary login so there will be no accessible clipboard to save to
    .
    The Remote access route works because you are logged in to the client system with rights to copy any screens to your clipboard, The Remote access software presents you with an image of the screen on the server device, this image is generated on the local client so can be copied without triggering any security system on the server device, Think of it as like taking a phone snapshot of the Bios *Wink

    BTW as long as you have the correct access rights for remote access to a system even Microsoft's own limited RDP system will allow remote installation of software creation of folders etc what it does not provide is a way to remain linked to the remote system during a reboot. 3rd party apps allow you to access the system login screen remotely which allows you to have the remote system and the server system live at the same time. Microsoft's RDP locks the server while remote RDP access is in use

    Oh and thanks to HG for the correction *Biggrin

    For clarity ...
    Device remoting into is the Server - Device remoting from is the Client

    You're welcome, Nigel, and thanks for the explanation and clarification of server/client terms. You explain things better than some people I notice. *Smile

    I get the concept of RDP and the remote access route. I knew that a system could be configured, but didn’t know a remote server had that much right to install software unless it was an Enterprise edition. Good to know.

    So, locking the screen signs a user out or suspends the account (somewhat like placing a system to sleep)? That then hands the lock screen and all else over to the system, therefore the clipboard can be used on the lock screen? As soon as a key is tapped or upon a mouse click, then the account once again “livens” (for lack of a better word) showing a sign-in screen to once again sign in since the user account is signed out or in suspension? If all or some of that be true, then the global system clipboard retains the data for the one that signs in to obtain and use?
