what is the reasoning behind booting someone to the login screen if they dont know the password to an application?

Not a smart idea, and an easy way to get into a legal jam if the forced logout causes loss of data in another application.
But, if you inisit on this insanity, you could register your application to restart in the registry, then call the Win API call to force Logout which will bring up the login screen (THAT IS IF... The PC is setup to require a login). The force Logout will close all other user processes and applicaitons on its way down.
Be careful what you wish for.

Re: how to initiate windows login using c# Are you wanting to just lock the workstation, rather than log the user out? If so, you can do this somewhere in your class:
And then just called LockWorkStation() like any other method.
I wouldn't suggest forcing a logout like other said, so give this a shot.
