First, thank you for your answer, you really remove me a spine of the foot.

I have to use ISensLogon for this reason http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/6ec4ec6d-6b84-44c9-b3af-116589a42b861033.mspx?mfr=true today I use Winlogon Notification package to catch Logon and Logoff events. Maybe I could use SCM...?

I've seen several examples in C, Delphi and VB, but I still don't know how to call "ISensLogon" in python : win32com.client.Dispatch("ISens.Logon") doesn't work, I've tried many other things with no more success. You're still thinking about this backwards. You don't call ISensLogon (as you have seen). It's not a service that you USE. Instead, it's a service that you PROVIDE. These are callbacks. You develop a COM server that implements the ISensLogon functions. Then you create an object from your own COM server, and register that object with the SENS services using IEventSubscription, which is implemented by the CLSIDCEventSubscription server. After you have done that, the system will start sending events to your ISensLogon routines. But first, you have to create a COM server (so you can implement ISensLogon). That's the first step. There are sample COM servers in Python on the web.

Could you give me a short example on how to start with this ? There really is no short example. This Microsoft knowledge base article includes a C++ sample app that shows how to implement ISenseNetwork, which is practically identical to ISensLogon: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321381 What are you really trying to accomplish here? This is complicated, and there may be an easier way to do what you want.
