I was just wondering if it was at all possible for me to `lock` my computer on windows XP without using a screensaver.

At work we use windows 2000 and we can access that ability by pressing ctrl-alt-del and then selecting the `lock computer` option.

However, I can't seem to find it on windows XP.

Am I looking in the wrong area or does XP not have that feature?

Any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dataran!

This is very easy to do on Windows XP. What you need to do is put a password for your user account, which you can do by going to USER ACCOUNTS in the CONTROL PANEL and select your account listed and click on CREATE A PASSWORD. Once the password is created, you can then hit the WINDOWS KEY+L. When you want to log back in, you just click on your name in the list of users on the screen and type in your password and hit ENTER.
