Locking Computer with Shortcut Icon
Posted in: Computers in nesher's Blog

Short tip for today (Tuesday, September 1, 2009):

 

You are leaving your computer in hurry but you do not 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 screensaver.

To create a shortcut on your desktop to lock your computer:

1.       Right-click the desktop.

2.       Point to New, and then click Shortcut. 

3.       The Create Shortcut Wizard opens. In the text box, type the following:
rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

4.       Click Next.

5.       Enter a name for the shortcut. You can call it "Lock Workstation" or choose any name you like.

6.       Click Finish.

 

You can also change the shortcut's icon. To change the icon:

1.       Right click the shortcut and then select Properties.

2.       Click the Shortcut tab, and then click the Change Icon button.

3.       In the Look for icons in this file text box, type: Shell32.dll.

4.       Click OK.

5.       Select one of the icons from the list and then click OK.

 

To lock your keyboard and display, double click the shortcut.

 

Happy socializing and moneymaking!
