Lock Computer

[Parvardigar]

Hello

I have a small shop running workstations with Xp Pro SP2.

For some reason two stations have tiny issues.

One workstation (within a domain) I log in as administrator ; and am
able to alt-ctrl-delete to Lock Computer. When I log in as the user
‘accountant’ this feature within the function of alt-ctrl-delete is
grayed out. How can I fix it so that this user is able to lock his
workstation? On all the other workstations this function works.

And for every workstation but one one can insert a usb to save files.
My art person when he inserts a usb device is asked to provide admin
credentials ; for example.
Site.com\this_admin ; Password .

I have to do this chore so that he can proceed to work. Is there a
remedy to fix this so that he is no longer prompted to provide admin
credentials?

Thanks
John Marshall

Does it work if you hold down the "Windows" key then hit the "L" key?
