O.P. Lid ACPI - Can someone do this?
Hey,

I have always wanted a little program that would lock the computer as soon as the lid as closed.
I was looking through my system a few days ago looking into the acpi's and shiz - bored, and just fiddling. And I found the Lid ACPI, which I know turns off the display (instead of just turning the backlight which it normally only does with a button the chassis). And I can assume you can use this ACPI in a way, to see if it's shut and then simply lock the laptop.

Can't be that hard for someone with a little bit of knowledge with C#/C++/C applications, right?

I'm willing to be £5 or so for it, please?
