Ok from the remote desktop connection window click "options" to show more options and tabs.
Click on the local resources tab and look at the "keyboard" section
it will say something like "apply windows key combonations:" and has a drop down style menu.
Select "on the remote computer" this will allow you to use keyboard shortcuts like alt tab etc on the rdp
Next go to the programs tab.
in the "program path and file name" box type cmd.exe
Connect to the RDP
On connecting the command prompt window will open instead of windows or the locker.
in cmd type "tasklist"
sometimes the list can be long but just look through it for process's like DTLEP.exe which is desktop locker express or Screenblur.exe which is that stupid one with a hand icon lol
once u spotted the lockers process type
taskkill /f /im DTLEP.exe
and it should confirm its killed.
next press CTRL+ALT+END and select task manager
on task manager click File,New,then browse
change the file type to all files and browse to desktop,downloads etc and delete the locker files
then close the browse window so ur back to the new task part and type
explorer or explorer.exe both work
That SHOULD of removed the locker.some are more complicated but most this method will do fine

ReplyDeleteThis program called "Desktop Lock Express" has locked my computer and is asking for password. I do not remember installing this program. Looks like it is a virus/malware. On the side it says register or buy and the link does not work. This program is from toplang.com and there is no phone support.

ReplyDeleteHi, I just got through this so I will try to help others, all of the above information is good but perhaps no longer enough,,,,
ReplyDelete#1 windows 10 does not have a "Program Tab" anymore, I used an older machine that had older version of Remote Desktop, now when you enter CMD.exe as instructed above it will no longer run, I was thinking this was an upgrade, but with the help of U-Tube I got around that as follows, when cmd.exe says it wont run there is a Help button go from there with the following (> = enter or next) Help>Print>ok>add printer>Network Printer>stop>The printer I want is not listed> type "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe">copy it from there>browse>go up top left IDK what its called but click into that space at the top left (dim before you click into it) but past that path we wrote into there, then click to the right of it so it is not highlighted and >enter or run, this will get you a cmd.exe window and then you can continue with this authors original instructions, I spent about 3 hours by process of elimination finding that this process was named "Backup.exe" bastards picked a good name right, last one I wanted to kill, but then even after I killed it the results did not survive a reboot, bottom line is there was acopy of that file in C:/users/tasks/desktop/backup.exe so that no matter who logged in it was running the file, as soon as I moved it out of there the problem was really solved, Hope this helps someone else as a novice it took me 4 hours to figure this all out
Here is the u-tube that helped me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmZhq2_PYlQ, I understand that there are ways to add the program tab back to windows 10 but I was just happy I did not have to, sorry if you don't have access to an older OS I would try to get to one, In this utube the guy used different commands in the prompt but the bottom line is you don't need them to work you just have to get to that help button so you can ultimately run cmd.exe as explained above, and above when I said I was thinking this was an upgrade I mean an upgrade to security as it appears that MS is trying to block people from running base commands within the Remote Desktop Connection software, hence the removal of the program tab and that cmd.exe will no longer run when entered into older versions that still have the program tab, again bottom line is get in and kill the Backup.exe process but also delete or move it out of c:/users/tasks/desktop/backup.exe too or every time you reboot it will just load up again
ReplyDeleteThe moment I type "tasklist" the cmd stop responding. please how what do I do?
ReplyDeleteThank-you for the tips. Here is where I found the malware on my Windows 2012 R2 system:
ReplyDeleteC:\Users\ASPNET\Desktop\DLTEP.exe
C:\Users\ASPNET\Desktop\NLBrute
Getting rid of these and their related subfolders (1,2,3,4,5) fixed the problem for me.
