Hi newsgroup

I have a strange problem. It seems that the Win + L combination does not
lock my computer anymore. Just nothing happens. If I lock my computer instead
by ctrl-alt-del it works.

According to other sources Win + L can either mean "lock the computer" as
well as launch a utility to enhance visibility. I've been using this tool
recently just to see what it is. How can I configure Windows XP to interpret
Win + L as a command to lock the computer?

Any input is highly appreciated.

Kind regards
Gabriel
