Locking the computer
Is there anyway to lock the computer besides putting a password on it.
Something like still in "process". or it goes in to bios. I do have a wireless card. or it just shutsdowns randomly. Last edited by PAINx5; 11-30-2010 at 10:19 PM. |

You could always physically lock it. Some cases come with locks that prevent one from accessing the power button or removing the cover.
Or, put a secret switch on the back or inside that is in line with the wires to the start button.

Control Pane>l Power Options allows you to chose when the computer sleeps, display goes dark , etc. and if woken up before the set time you can require a password for that.
But, seriously, if this is just to prevent casual use (It won't stop someone really determined.) then a case with a lock as David suggested would also work.

Depending on the level of encryption that you need .. I would highly recommend using BitLocker to protect your data, rather than the standard username/password schema.

I just want to scare them into thinking that they destroyed the computer.
