Hi;

what does that mean 'facility of locking'. Do you want to set a password?

To do that you have to turn off Welcome Screen. [ Control Panel > User
Accounts > Change the way user .... ]

OR use WinKey + L to do the same.

Create a shortcut on your desktop and type in the Location box
"%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation" (without the
quotes). This is a one click lock solution.

There at least 4 ways to lock a WinXP (Home or Pro) workstation,
any of which can be used, regardless of domain membership. (In fact,
I'm not aware of any method of locking a computer that's dependent upon
the presence of a domain.):

1) Use the Windows Key + L hot key.

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.
