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.
To create a shortcut on your
desktop to lock your computer:
Right-click the desktop.
Point to New, and then click
Shortcut. The Create Shortcut Wizard
opens. In the text box, type the
following:
rundll32 .exe
user32.dll,LockWorkStation
Click Next. Enter a name for the shortcut.
You can call it "Lock Workstation"
or choose any name you like.
Click Finish.
You can also change the
shortcut's icon (my personal favorite is the padlock icon in
shell32.dll).
To change the icon:
Right click the shortcut and then
select Properties.
Click the Shortcut tab, and then click the Change Icon button.
In the Look for icons in this file
text box, type:
Shell32.dll.
Click OK.
Select one of the icons from the list and then click OK
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.

Share it with your frnds and Feel Free To Comment.
