I have Windows 7 pro at work. My problem is I keep on forgetting to clock in/clock out (using the intranet timesheet system). Is there a way to run a script or command to automatically open the timesheet page each time I lock/unlock my station?

Yes, windows 7 task scheduler allows a dizzying array of new ways to schedule tasks:

One is on log on, and another is on event which could be a security event for locking the workstation.

Administrative Tools --> Task Scheduler
    - Create Task 
    --> Triggers Tab 
    --> New Button 
    --> Begin Task drop down box... 

etc.

    Not that I know of... you may want to make a task that automatically writes the time to a text file when you lock the screen, and then when you unlock it then automatically bring up the timesheet AND the text file... – John Weldon Dec 02 '09 at 05:06
  • Nice. I wonder if its possible to pass as argument which trigger/event that started the task? – Superole Feb 11 '13 at 09:31

You can use the trigger event "on workstation unlock"...or "on workstation lock", in Windows 10 task scheduler.
