"Lock Computer" executable

[Jim Matthews]

One of my consultants told me, at a previous job, his laptop had an icon, in
the system tray which "locked" his computer, in the same way as hitting
CTL+ALT+DEL and selecting "Lock computer"

Has anyone heard of this ? Does anyone know the name of the executable ?

Thanks in advance

It was probably osa.exe, part of Office. osa.exe -s will start the
SCREENSAVER, which will lock the workstation if he has the screensaver set
to lock.

Create a shortcut and use this as the target

%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
