Hi,
If you read further on in the microsoft page, 'if the welcome screen is
enabled, the computer can be locked if you ...(open task manager)... and
click 'lock computer' or 'switch user' on the Shut Down menu. If
CTRL+ALT+DEL is giving you task manager, you presumably don't have the
welcome screen disabled.
Now on my computer, pressing the 'switch user' doesn't do anything, so there
may be a bug, but it does have a shortcut key listed next to it, which is
'WIN + L'. This works on my pc.
Alternatively, you could create a shortcut on your desktop (or anywhere you
fancy) which runs the following command:
"rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation"
excluding speech marks.

According to (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=294317), "if the
Welcome screen is disabled, you can lock the computer if you press
CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Lock Computer in the Windows Security
dialog box."
When I press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and bring up the task manager, I don't see
any "Windows Security dialog box"...
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
