One method I have used is to suspend the explorer process on the machine (pssuspend) whilst the script is running, if the user has logged in and opened, say, word then they can continue to work in word, but for all purposes all desktop icons and folders are locked. Of course you also send an alert letting them know what has happened. In answer to you second question, you can simply restart the wpkg service using task scheduler at specific times, you could even do this remotely using psservice or psexec
