Just adding a password to your user profile and log off or shut down the machine.
Flash drives are prone to malfunction. Would hate to see you not be able to get into your machine "at all" cause you stepped on the the usb drive or left it at a friends house. |

Just set a password and pres the windows key + L when you leave and it will lock the computer. It would be much better as EzyStvy said since the USB sticks can malfuntion and you don't want to have a pain trying to get into the computer if it doesn't work.

Hey Kevin, Here ya go->
Central Locking for Your PC
"Simply plug the USB dongle into your USB port, and whenever you move more than about two metres away from your computer (whilst carrying your 'remote' clicker), your computer automatically locks itself! When you get back to within two metres of your computer it unlocks again." http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/CENLOC_OFFI.htm |
