Default Re: Desktop Lock
Well, the simplest way (assuming you are using XP or 2000) is either to set your screensaver to "password protect". Right click desktop, go to properties and then screensaver tab. Select time out and password protect option.

Alternatively, when you go off, press ctrl+alt+del and select the "lock workstation" option.

Either way, you will need to re-enter your password before you get access again

Hope this helps
Tom
