Creating a Desktop Shortcut for locking your computer

If you use your computer in an area
where others may have access to it, and there are things on your system you
would rather have kept confidential, locking your desktop when you leave the computer
is an Essential task


Here's a Recipe for a Desktop shortcut that will lock your computer in two easy
clicks:

Right
click
on an Empty area of the Desktop and choose 'New' then 'Shortcut'

The create shortcut wizard will open; in the First text box, type '
%windir%\System32\rundll32exe user32dll,LockWorkStation
' and then
give your shortcut an appropriate name on the next page, and Hit '
finish
' You will notice that the shortcut you created has
a blank icon. To select a more appropriate one, right click on the shortcut and
hit 'properties.' In the 'shortcut' tab, click the '
change icon
' button. In
the 'look for icons in this file' box, type '
%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll ' Then Click 'ok
' to see a Range of Icons for your new shortcut. Choose an
appropriate Icon.
Your Desktop locking shortcut is Now Ready for use.
Test it out.
It is useful if u have an Account as it will prompt
