Lock Computer

[Guest]

When I try to lock up my computer by pressing Ctr+Alt+Delete key it looks
"Lock Computer" button is disabled. I can log off or shut it down but can not
lock it up.

Any ide why is that?

It is probably disabled by a group policy...is this computer managed by you,
or is there a system administrator besides yourself? If so, they probably
have a policy which puts some restrictions on the computers that they manage.
Locking computers is often problematic for administrators because then they
never are able to 'unlock' your computer if there is a software update or
something like that without you loosing any data that is opened and not
saved.

I would suggest contacting your sys admin to ask them more.
