Go to Start > Run and type: control userpasswords2 , and hit enter.
Click on the Advanced tab, place a check next to "Require users to press
Ctrl + Alt + Delete" and click OK.

Greetings --

There at least 4 ways to lock a WinXP (Home or Pro) workstation:

1) Use the Windows Key + L hotkey.

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.

Thx Carey, but I still can't lock my Windows XP session on my PC. When I use
the WindowsKey + L it gave me a logoff rather than a Lock......
