It seems it's a little bit complicated. If I don't read your instruction step by step, I wonder whether I can lock my PC. But thanks for your sharing. I love China

If you use the windows xp system, the other way is that you can push the windows key and L key on the keyboard at the same time! you will see your PC would be locked !

Very good tip. I didn't know you could make a shortcut to do that. I have no need to do it but i'm sure there will be people here that will find that very useful.
