I have a Sony Vaio computer. I have Windows XP and would like to know how to
lock my keyboard!! I did a search before coming here. One of the results was
a list of keyboard shortcuts;the only semi-relevant one was one that said to
press the Windows Logo key and the letter L key. I did that but all it did
was take it to my start-up screen and I stayed logged-on. I want to stay on
my screen with all of my icons and programs-not my main computer start-up
screen. Can anybody help me?

They have all kinds of gizmos these days so there may be a keyboard that
can be locked in the manner that you describe. However, I've never seen or
used one. A feature of this type (if available), would be a feature of the
keyboard (or keyboard software) and not the operating system.

If a laptop, there may be a feature already built in but again it would be
controlled by the keyboard or keyboard software. Refer to the laptop manual
or the help file for the keyboard/touchpad to see if it's supported.
