Lock computer

[Steven K2]

Hello,

In W2K you can lock the computer by Ctrl+Alt+Del and then select the button
to "Lock Computer" or type the letter "K". What is the equivalent of this
in XP?

for example, if you do Ctrl+Alt+Del then in the Shut Down dropdown menu, you
have the option to standby or log off. Also is there a shortcut for this?

I am using a modified classic theme and when I hit Ctrl+Alt_Del, I can see the
<Lock Computer> button.

What I mean by modified classic theme is I used the classic theme and added a
background picture.

Greetings --

If you cannot use the Windows Key + L hotkey because your keyboard
lacks a Windows Key, you can press CTRL+ALT+DEL and then <ENTER>
(assuming you've turned off the Welcome Screen and Fast User
Switching), or you can create a desktop shortcut with
"%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation" in the
target field. (It is case-sensitive, BTW.)
