Hi Taishi,

If you are running the Welcome Screen you can quickly bring it back to the
screen by pressing Windows Key - L.
This also works when not using the Welcome Screen.

Press the Windows Key and the letter 'L' at the same time.

Just to add, you can also setup a shortcut to do this. Create a new shortcut
and point it here:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

Crtl-Alt-Del brings up a dialog. One of the choice there is "Lock
Computer".

Just to add:
........only on the shutdown menu in task manager and you have to have the
welcome screen and fast user switching enabled, otherwise its not there.

Greetings --

There at least 4 ways to lock a WinXP workstation:

1) Use the Windows Key + L hotkey.

2) You can press CTRL+ALT+DEL and then <ENTER>, once you've turned
off the Welcome Screen and Fast User Switching. (This is the default
in a domain environment, as FUS is contrary to the domain security
paradigm.)

3) You can create a desktop shortcut with
"%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation" in the
target field. (It is case-sensitive, BTW.) You can then assign a
keyboard shortcut.

4) Set a password protected screensaver, and wait the allotted time
without touching the mouse or keyboard.
