Security Program

[Alaron]

I am going to attend a LAN in a few weeks and I am concerned about leaving my system unattended if I need to be away. I need a kind of program that will lock the system and allow me to use it when I come back. It needs to be able to continue the lock even if the system is rebooted. I dont want to use the Windows logoff, just so I can save some time booting back up. Does anyone have any recommendations? TIA :)

Hi Alaron56,

What OS are you using? If it's Win2K/XP, just set a password for your user account and lock the computer. Even if it is rebooted, they will need to enter a password to access your account.

Thanks Dr. Z. I setup the password in the User Accounts. Im using XP Pro. How do I lock the system when I walk away?

Just logoff and it will take you to the login screen where you must enter the password to get back in.

Disable the welcome screen and use the WinKey + L
