Need AutoIT scripting assistance..
Is there anyone here with good autoit scripting knowledge? I have a screensaver I am working with which needs some things looked at. My main stumbling block is building a password facility to store passwords which can be configured and how to script the time it takes for the screensaver to wait so it considers its Idle thus turning on the screensaver.
Any help here would be appreciated, immensely!

Might it be better to post the script? Yeah I have talked with people over @ AutoIT but everyone seems too busy. :(

Ok here is the script..
Essentially what I want to do is the following:
1) Based on a setting in the screensaver.cfg, to determine inactivity to then enable the picture screensaver. Right now it assumes Windows will do it for the screensaver but our environment completely disables that. So I need another line in the cfg file to determine how long/idle time outs are handled.
2) Enable the screensaver using a HOTKEY combo (our WINDOWS keys are non-functional so we need other key combos) -- I think thats coded now as you'll note the hotkey code is now present. Any additional or recommended tweaks to that I would be open to.
3) Password protect the screensaver so when it comes out of the picture slideshow it asks for a password (this password is stored in screensaver.cfg and locally in another cfg *in case original location where the .cfg is not available*). Note: we don't password protect our desktops hence the need for #3.
4) Backdoor password access.. one that doesn't change the password set. In the past we use a decimal to octal conversion routine: The title bar of the password box has a random number, that if you type it into a calculator and hit the OCTAL button, then type in the octal equivalent into the password box it unlocks. This is not a password or function our desktops use or understand exists, but we know what to do. ie. If we type in "53824" and hit the OCT button, the result is 151100. If you type that in the password box, or the actual user password, it'll unlock.
5) When Screensaver is active, it must be able to allow forced shutdowns and restarts from outside sources/processes such as, for example, desktop updates.
Generally, adding in a password facility for the screensaver seems silly because Windows does that anyway but our environment does not use Active Directory to store security profiles -- we do it locally so anyone can log into Windows XP. The screensaver is meant as a layer of security hence why I need to code it. I'm mostly stuck on creating the password system and backdoor. Being new to AutoIT compounds my frustrating hence why I am reaching out as that screensaver is fantastic for what I need but need it slightly expanded upon.
Thanks Cserrins..
I will try and answer any outstanding questions you have regarding what I am trying to do here.
