I don't think the windows systems have that option. But
you can download a program that will lock your computer
at a keystroke. Here is a link to downloads.com with the
software: http://download.com.com/3000-2346-10175183.html?

There may be other similar programs out there. Just try
a search using keywords like "desktop," "lock,"
or "password," for example.
