joelw135 newbie Registered: 12/04/08 Posts: 9	I would like to run a Lock Desktop script then a widget. So the final result will be the Desktop Lock will activate then the Deep Sleep widget will put my notebook into hibernation. When power button is pressed the computer will awake to the Desktop Lock asking for password. Is that possible? The desktop lock is on the dock and the widget is in dashboard.

Not sure, maybe I'm reading what you want to do incorrectly. _________________________ The Graphic Mac - Tips, reviews & more on all things OSX & graphic design.
