This board is for the renegade system that cost a arm, leg, first born, and then some to get.   Around $10,000 bucks Go to the Dimension board to post your question

sundrop, From Windows XP Inside Out: Lock your computer. With this option, which is available only when Fast User Switching is disabled, your programs continue to run. However, only you or another administrator can unlock the computer. If another administrator unlocks the computer, he or she can do so only by closing your programs (without saving any open documents) and logging you off. To lock a computer, press the Windows logo key+L or (if the Welcome screen is disabled) press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and click Lock Computer. If you press Ctrl+Alt+Delete when the Welcome screen is enabled, choose Lock Computer from the Windows Task Manager Shut Down menu.

You need to set a password to do that go to, Start, Control Panel, User Accounts And Family Safety, User Accounts , then click create a password for your user account. Set a password that is secure and that you will remember easily.

A quiker option to lock your computer is using the windows key+L
