Security Shortcut: Lock your workstation with one click

 Here is a great way to quickly lock your Windows computer if you are going to away for a few minutes.

 

Everyone knows of the CTRL-ALT-DEL option, but this puts a shortcut on your desktop and even your shortcut bar.

 

Here are the steps you need to take:

1. Right click on an empty area of your desktop.
2. Click 'New'
3. Click 'Shortcut'
4. Type the following:
• rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation
5. Click Next
6. Name the shortcut; something like "Away From Desk"
7. Click Finish

Now when you step away from your computer for a few minutes it is a quick double click and your computer is locked.

 

There are other methods too, stay tuned for those as well.
