Anybody out there know how I could go about handling, in a systray'd app, the windows message that the desktop is going to be locked? This way the application can react whenever the Win+L or Ctrl+Alt+Del+L is used to lock the computer. I realize this will probably involve some Windows API work, and am aware of the LockWorkStation inside the User32.dll which causes the locking of the computer, but don't know where to start to find out how...

When is it appropriate to use "volatile" keyword? The docs simply state: " The volatile modifier is usually used for a field that is accessed by multiple threads without using the lock Statement (C# Reference) statement to serialize access.
