Default Initiate welcome screen

I would like to know how to initiate the welcome screen with a batch
file. I need that after my computer runs a program to automatically
activate the welcome screen so nobody will have access to this user
session.
I would appreciate any help.

Hi

Try this command:

%windir%\SYSTEM32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

(note that the command is case sensitive for the word LockWorkStation)

You may need to configure your computer to show the welcome
screen when locking the computer.
