locking the desktop

[gaz]

Does anyone know how to lock the windows XP desktop.
I have looked at the screensaver settings and there is
not an option where you can "on resume password protect
the computer"

Is there anyway round this?

Can windows XP lock the desktop?

You should have an option to password protect (or return to the welcome
screen) on your screen saver tab. You can also do this manually by hitting
the Windows-L key combination.

You will need a third-part program to lock the desktop, such as Desktop Lock:

No, actually, you just need to hit Window-L.
