Protect. Put a shortcut on your desktop for your favorite screen saver (the file will
have an .scr extension). When you want to lock your system, double click that screen
saver icon on your desktop, and no one can get into your profile unless they can type in
your password. If your User Account doesn't have a password, go to Control Panel/User
Accounts/ select your User Account, then click Add Password.

I also do not understand your #2 or #3 options.
Thanks.

Thanks a mil! Your instructions on a "elegant" desktop shortcut worked
beautifully. However, I have 3 questions:
1) why does the shortcut lock (back to the blue XP login screen) look
differently from the usual screensaver password prompt?
2) What is rundll32.exe and how is it the command is able to lock the
workstation?
3) If I have now configured the desktop shortcut, what should I do with the
VBScript instructions you provided? What is a VBscript? why is it setting
the command for the current user and all users?
