Sometimes I walk away from my computer for a short period of time, what’s the quickest and easiest way to lock my computer so others can’t see what I’m doing. I’m using Windows Vista.
Yup there are two ways you can lock your computer:
The easiest way to lock your computer from prying eyes is using one of many Windows hot keys. But to lock your computer press and hold down the “Windows” key (that’s the one with the Windows logo between between the CTRL and ALT key) with the Windows key held down press the “L” key. Your computer should now prompt for a password.
The other way does the exact same thing but requires more mouse clicking, press the “Start” menu then navigate to the right and at the very bottom you should see a padlock click on this to lock the computer.
