I have Windows 7 pro at work. My problem is I keep on forgetting to clock in/clock out (using the intranet timesheet system). Is there a way to run a script or command to automatically open the timesheet page each time I lock/unlock my station?

Yes, windows 7 task scheduler allows a dizzying array of new ways to schedule tasks:
One is on log on, and another is on event which could be a security event for locking the workstation.
Administrative Tools --> Task Scheduler
- Create Task
--> Triggers Tab
--> New Button
--> Begin Task drop down box...
etc.

3Not that I know of... you may want to make a task that automatically writes the time to a text file when you lock the screen, and then when you unlock it then automatically bring up the timesheet AND the text file... Commented Dec 2, 2009 at 5:06

Nice. I wonder if its possible to pass as argument which trigger/event that started the task?– SuperoleCommented Feb 11, 2013 at 9:31
You can use the trigger event "on workstation unlock"...or "on workstation lock", in Windows 10 task scheduler.
