Make a Shortcut to Lock Your Computer
Leaving your computer in a hurry but you don?t want to log off? You can double-click a shortcut on your desktop to quickly lock the keyboard and display without using CTRL+ALT+DEL or a screen saver.Read This Article.....




To create a shortcut on your desktop to lock your computer:


1.Right-click the desktop. 


2.Point to New, and then click Shortcut.


3.The Create Shortcut Wizard opens. In the text box, type the following: 
rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation


4.Click Next.


5.Enter a name for the shortcut. You can call it "Lock Workstation" or choose any name you like.


6.Click Finish.


Note: You can also change the shortcut's icon (my personal favorite is the padlock icon in shell32.dll).


To change the icon:


1.Right click the shortcut and then select Properties. 


2.Click the Shortcut tab, and then click the Change Icon button.


3.In the Look for icons in this file text box, type: Shell32.dll.


4.Click OK.


5.Select one of the icons from the list and then click OK.


Note:You could also give it a shortcut keystroke such CTRL+ALT+L. This would save you only one keystroke from the normal command, but it could be more convenient.
