To create a shortcut on your desktop to lock your computer:
- Right-click the desktop.
- Point to New, and then click Shortcut.
- The Create Shortcut Wizard opens.
- In the text box, type the following:
rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
- Click Next.
- Enter a name for the shortcut.
- You can call it "Lock Workstation" or choose any name you like.
- Click Finish.
You can also change the shortcut's icon (my personal favorite is the padlock icon in shell32.dll).
To change the icon:
- Right click the shortcut and then select Properties.
- Click the Shortcut tab, and then click the Change Icon button.
- In the Look for icons in this file text box, type:
Shell32.dll. - Click OK.
- Select one of the icons from the list and then
- click OK
You could also give it a shortcut keystroke such CTRL+ALT+L. This would save you only one keystroke from the normal command, but it could be more convenient.
