Are you wanting to create a VB screen saver that reads the passwords? You should be able to do this fairly easily. Let me via email if that is what your asking.

Copy of email sent in response to the query above showing answer provided.
Though I haven't gotten your reply back to the email I sent you earlier ... I'm sending this code along. As you'll see in the credits area, it is code found in a VB6 reference book, 'Special Edition Using Visual Basic 6' by QUE, that I've slightly modified.
Save all of these attachments to a C:\download folder, which is the folder I created these in on my PC. You should be able to modify this, etc., from here and come up with what you're looking for. I sent along my logo images that I used on this demo.
The final details are: compile the program into a .exe, then copy and rename the .exe to .scr and place it in your Windows root folder with all the other .scr files. Then you can add this baby to the screen saver feature of Windows. Once you add the code to prompt and verify for the password you should be all set to rock-n-roll, check the Keypress and Mousemove events for the place to insert the code.
Note: you may need to first install this program as a VB installation program as an .exe on each machine for it to work. This would ensure that everything that VB needs to run a program is on every machine using this feature. Good luck ... let me know if I can help further.
