    I think that you have given half the information, hence i will explain how to create a shortcut in Windows 7 to lock the computer. Basically we just have to right click wherever we want to create the shortcut, therefore right click on the desktop and then choose new and then Shortcut. We will get a prompt like "What item would you like to create a shortcut for" and textbox below it will display. In that textbox we just have to enter the following text:

    rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation

    Once it is entered correctly, double click on this new shortcut and lock your computer.
