Yes,

go to Start ... Help and Support and type in Lock your computer
to the Search criteria box and press the white arrow on green background
button.
This will take you to the help entries where you can learn about performing

It's only useful "To lock a computer in a domain environment"

You can lock a PC that is in a workgroup using the same techniques (either
CTRL-ALT-DEL or "Windows Key"-L if your keyboard has one).
It is useful in both cases to lock a PC that is signed ion but you may not
be their.
Id the quote you use from our own documentation ?? if so where ?
