I'm not why you'd want to do this but here is the answer your looking for: You essentially want to make your main form a screen saver.
The code you want to turn on this functionality is: SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING, Word(True), nil, 0); and to shut it off: SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SCREENSAVERRUNNING, Word(False), nil, 0); This essentially tells windows that you want to have fullscreen control. I know this used to work in the Win9x systems just fine. But for some reason I believe there is a problem, or you need to do something extra for the WinNT systems. Look up the command on the MSDN library to verify what it does extactly.
