Does anyone know of any products (free or otherwise) that would allow you to disable users from logging in while an advertisement is running. Basically we have an advertisement that requires that a user be in a logged off state. The problem is that some users are logging in during the middle of the installation and rebooting. I was hoping to be able to present them with a message if they try to login that states software is being installed and that they need to try again in a few minutes.

I know there is a utility called Screen Lock that someone made, but that utility doesn't seem to have any documentation plus it simply causes the screen to be completely blank. I think this would confuse users and cause them to do a hard reboot.
