see, the problem is that on Terminal Server, there is more than one Winsta0, namely, for every logged in session. These winstations exist in the path I told you about below, and are not directly visible from user mode thru the OpenWindowStation function, unless you get a valid handle to that object.

From user-mode, you open WindowStations with OpenWindowStation (or, if
you’re a member of Administrators, you can use CreateWindowStation
instead; non-Administrators cannot specify a WindowStation name in
CreateWindowStation).
To access Desktop objects within the WindowStation (A WindowStation is not
a Desktop; it’s a container, that has a set of Atoms, zero or more
Desktops, a clipboard, and some other odds and sods) you can then use
OpenDesktop.
This is all documented in the Platform SDK.
Beware, however, as GDI has at least one show-stopper when it comes to
using WindowStations/Desktops other than Winsta0 (the interactive
WindowStation).

Hi,
does anyone know of a way to access the desktop object in the terminal server winstation objects???
basically, if you look in a terminal server (win2k), the object looks like this:
//Sessions//windows/Winstations/winsta0

logic kicks ass:
(1) Horses have an even number of legs.
(2) They have two legs in back and fore legs in front.
(3) This makes a total of six legs, which certainly is an odd number of
legs for a horse.
(4) But the only number that is both odd and even is infinity.
(5) Therefore, horses must have an infinite number of legs.
