That's cool. Normally I lock my workstation with Windows Key+L as it is usually faster. But, what the heck! I added it to my desktop!  Anyways, if you wanted something better than the red X icon, SHELL32.dll in the system32 folder has a padlock icon and the logout icon which would work. But it is a personal preference! [N]F

wow, I have been using Windows XP all this time since 2002 and I thought the easiest way was CTRL+ALT+DEL then Lock Computer... wow, thanks nightfox, now u just my day better on Windows, however, it still doesn't beat Linux and with it's customization. On my Linux system, lock is CTRL+SHIFT+L. xboxrulz

But the Windows key+L is alot faster, plus it's one less icon on your desktop. Maybe you like a lot of icons on there, i find it too cluttered. The less the better.

if you are running on a novell network, or have novell client installed on your computer, locking the computer so really easy! all you have to do is press CTRL + ALT + DEL then when the dialog comes up, press ENTER! i think this is the same as what xboxrulz said cause you can do the same thing on windows 2k and xp

Lock Workstation Shortcut
Although WindowsKey+L May be the fastest way to lock your computer, here at work I am using an IBM ThinkPad T41, and anyone who has one knows... There IS no start key. So the shortcut is, as a result, the fastest way now! Excellent, Thanks!

Why I May Be Installing Windows Xp Sp3 Again
(7) This is a sad tale of a man and his machine that would not start again. The story continues with a
sorted affair between two operating systems and a battle to win the love of this man’s heart. My
problems began last weekend when I started my computer after it had been off from the previous
night. Everything went normally throughout the POST but once Windows XP started I heard the dreaded
clicking from the hard drive. After several reboots and a Spinrite diagnostic I gave up and called
the time of death around three in the afternoon. This is not all bad because I had....

Will Using Fdisk Corrupt Windows Partition?
(9) I remember doing this before in the past with a DOS partition. It wasn't working properly, so
the office tech told me to use fdisk and delete that DOS partition. Then recreate it. To my surprise
Windows still worked after that. I always thought that fdisk would corrupt the Windows partition
somehow since it was a destructive partitioning tool. So I have always used Partition Magic instead
for my partitioning needs. If I install Linux on a separate partition and decide to get rid of it
later using fdisk, Windows will still be intact right? From my understanding now,....

Windows XP Folder Encryption Key ?
Where is the Windows XP encryption Key saved. (13) Does any one know where is the encryption key in Windows XP stored. In other words how can one get

key is added to files or folders that you choose to encrypt. This key is needed to read the file.

Can You Create A Folder Name "con"
Is it possible to create a folder named "CON" in Windows? (17) I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP
renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New
Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
I found the reason that CON stands for CONsole which is device name but....

The Best Version Of Windows

users are in love with Win98SE for some reason? Is there any justification behind this? I mean
this is a version of Windows that is definitely not supported anymore, but is the security and
stability of this version that much better where it doesn't need support? Personally, I really
like Win2000 over any other version. It seems more secure and stable, and I'm pr....
