Hello,
Is there a way to lock a workstation by using a command or a sequence of keys other than CRTL-ALT-DEL.
Eric.
There at least 4 ways to lock a WinXP (Home or Pro) workstation, any of which can be used, regardless of domain membership. (In fact, I'm not aware of any method of locking a computer that's dependent upon the presence of a domain.):
1) Use the Windows Key + L hot key.
2) You can press CTRL+ALT+DEL and then <ENTER>, once you've turned
off the Welcome Screen and Fast User Switching. (This is the default
in a domain environment, as FUS is contrary to the domain security
paradigm.)
3) You can create a desktop shortcut with
"%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation" in the
target field. (It is case-sensitive, BTW.) You can then assign a
keyboard shortcut.
4) Set a password protected screensaver, and wait the allotted time
without touching the mouse or keyboard.
