how do you "lock" the pc in windows xp. i know this can be done after a screen saver but theres an other way which ive forgot. it says something like
"this pc has been locked. only admin or an admin can unlock the pc".
then a username and password login box below it.

Windows key + L is what I suppose you mean ....
Providing your account requires a password, it works well.

yes I'm sure, you can change the way you log on with password
but perhaps you are meaning something different

Say if you wanna go for a quick shit and dont want auntie may seeing ya porn, hold the windows key and press L which 'locks' your pc taking you back to the log on screen.

hey, theres a program called tweakxp, and i was flickin hrough it, and it has a section where it lets you lock your computer, so that to get back on you have to have a password, so you could use it if you want. hope this helped

you can use this:
right click desktop then new shortcut then cpy and paste:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
then name it watever say "lock pc"
then when you double cliick it will either bring up welcome screen or locked workstation- this depends what type logo on you have.
you can use this shortcut for tasks so say lock pc at a certain time.
i got this tip from m$'s tips area
