Lock your computer with an easy shortcut


WINDOWS XP/VISTA/7


You can lock your PC using the [Win] + [L] keys together, so that anyone who tries to use it will need to sign in with the user account password.


Use this shortcut to create an icon which can be
double-clicked to lock your PC.
If you are using a keyboard without a Windows key or would like a clickable command, you have another option to lock your computer.
This can be done by using the command ‘rundll’. Right-click in an empty space on the Desktop and select ‘New| Shortcut’. It will ask you to type the location of the item. Type ‘Rundll32.exe user32.dll, Lock Workstation’ in the dialog box. After that click ‘Next’ and insert a name, for example, ‘Lock computer’. Lastly click on ‘Finish’. You can assign any icon to the shortcut. Now simply doubleclick it to lock the computer.
