If you work in a network environment you probably have
to log onto your computer each morning using a password and remember to
log off each evening before you go. And for network security reasons
you're probably reminded to never leave your computer while it's logged
on. This is especially important in a school setting where a malevolent
student could potentially make a real mess of the school network if
they had access to a teacher computer.
Today's tip will help you with a quick way to
log on and off your computer when you have to step away from it for a
few minutes. It will save you time as you won't have to log off and
then back on again. Instead you can just "Lock" your computer while
you're away from it temporarily. Please note that this will not work in
all network environments or all operating systems. But you can still
give it a try:
To lock your computer press the Windows button (bottom left of your keyboard) and the letter "L" at the same time.
If it works your screen will go blank except for a message that says:
"This computer is in use and has been locked
by (Your Username). To unlock this computer press CTRL+ALT+DEL and
type in your password"
This can be a great, easy to use way to lock
your computer. It doesn't work on all computers though. If it doesn't
work on your computer you'd have to contact your network administrator
to ask them about it. Some network administrators decide to disable this
feature.Windows key and L
