I have a custom click method in Element class which use pure Win32API
call and needs the IE window to be in input focus. When I ran the
scripts on remote desktop(and reduce remote desktop window) it looses
its input focus so I need to bring the target IE window to front in
order to make it working correct. But...it appeared that workaround
wouldn't help :) - I gave it a try but it didn't work out. I also
tried to set webserver on the remote machine and run the script by
HTTP-request without using remote desktop. Though this didn't help
either because remote PC is locked when the scripts are running(I mean
the Ctrl+Al+Del lock) and has no proper input focus either. So now I
need to release the lock somehow before start running the script...
BTW has anyone released the lock by AutoIt or something before?
