Lockout XP Pro?

[TwoRails]

A newbie question... I'd have need to lockout my system from time to time, but when I hit the good ole Ctrl-Alt-Del, I don't have an option to do so. What do I need to do, to be able to lock out this box?

TIA :D

windows key + L will lock the desktop

That puts me immediately to the logon screen. So I assume I have to have a password set up from the get-go? I was hoping / wanting to logon normally (no password required) but be able to lock it out as necessary...

Any ideas?

Edit: Even though I'm the only user / account, I would like this option on my client machine where I could lock out all users at once, if the need arrises...

I think it's only possible to lock the PC if you have a password, You can still have autologon set even with a password, but all a user would have to do after you lock it is restart the PC to gain access with the autologin set.

That would actually be OK. I've already invested in a new case with a locking door, and the system is set to *not* restart after power loss, so they would have to break into the door, or the system would simple be off when I checked.

Also, I do my best to not under estimate, but I am confident that the "guest" in my house right now is not computer savy in the slightest. Sadly, though, he does like to do a lot of pushing of buttons and clicking of the mouse and has locked up the client machine on several occassions just "messing" with things. And that is the reason why I'm going to spend the money and get XP on the client box and set up accounts...

Sigh...... :(
