Rusty, I cannot reproduce.

Could you describe me exactly which way you locks PC?

Do you use any special hotkey combination for this action including Ctrl key?

I use Win XP and 'WinKey + L' combination to lock and have no such issue.

The step 'Lock PC' should read: 'Lock PC (CTRL-ALT-DELETE > Lock) while tracks are playing.

note: Once the issue arises, the way to get rid of it is to close and restart MM.

Ok, the only way I've reproduced is to hold Ctrl key pressed while unlocking PC.
This way MM remember Ctrl key being pressed, because there has been the "push key down" action, but there hasn't been any "realease key" action, because user has been unlocked before the key release.

In order to prevent such a problems I have added 6 seconds timeout in which MM consider the Ctrl key as unpressed again after the unlocking.

Fixed in build 1233.
