SasLibEx
Sending Ctrl-Alt-Del / Simulate SAS in Windows Vista/7

http://www.simulatesas.com/blog/tag/saslibex/

Existing code to simulate the Secure Attention Sequence (SAS),which most people refer to as control alt delete or ctrl-alt-del, no longer works in Windows Vista. It seems that Microsoft offers a library that exports a function called SimulateSAS(). It is not public and one is supposed to request it by sending a mail to saslib@microsoft.com. Mails to this address remain unanswered though.

* Should work both with and without User Account Control (UAC)
* Should support current, console and any Terminal Server session
* Does not need a driver
* The calling application does not need to be signed or have a special manifest
* Support multiple programming languages
* Unlocking workstation without entering password
* Cancel UAC (User Account Control) request
* fully disable Ctrl-Alt-Del
* Cancel Ctrl-Alt-Del
* Switch between secure desktop (where the UAC prompt is) and the normal desktop.

Some people asked if SasLibEx works on x64 or Windows 7, the answer is yes. I tested on build 7000 of Windows 7 beta and also on Server 2008 x64.
