Lock Workstation

Does anybody have or know where I can get a small utility or windows command
line or something (other than WindowsKey + L) to "lock workstation" or show
the welcome screen? Any help greatly appriceated. Thanks.

Create a shortcut

Target :
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

then make any key combination you want or click on the
shortcut

thanks!


Hi Kevin,

This command "rundll32 user32,LockWorkStation" locks the workstation [if
Fast User Switching is disabled]. Or, shows Welcome screen if Welcome Screen
and FUS are enabled. You can create a shortcut to this command and add to
your Quick Launch bar.
