ctrl+alt+delete alternate!

[xbster]

Hi ,

If CTRL-ALT-DELETE seems like too much of a hassle, try this instead:

.. Right click an empty spot on the desktop, point to New and click Shortcut.

2.. In the Create Shortcut dialog box, type the following into the Type the location of the item text box:

rundll32 user32.dll,LockWorkStation

3.. Click Next.

4.. In the Select a Title for the Program dialog box, type Lock the
Desktop in the Type a name for this shortcut text box. Click Finish.

Now the desktop will lock when you click your new Lock the Desktop icon.

You could also press the "windows Key" and the " L" key and that would lock the desktop as well.

Congrats it works, now how about the reverse

I actually found a use for this...

My office password is inordinately long and convoluted (for obvious reasons), and if I'm working on something that doesn't involve my computer (repairing another machine), I don't want my screensaver locking the system every ten minutes.

Occasionally, I'm asked to help with something away from my desk - it may start 5 feet away, and end up with me being out of sight of my desk.

I made the LOCK shortcut on my desktop, and then set up a rule in Outlook; Now I can send an email from my phone, with the correct key phrase in the subject, and it runs the shortcut.

System locked.

Could you rewrite the instructions on #4 please. A bit confusing.
