If you're worried about people snooping through your documents while away from your computer, worry no more. Locking down your computer is easier than you may think.
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Computer
- Windows XP or Vista
- Keyboard with a Windows button on it.
Hit the key with the Windows
logo on it, and hold it down. (It should be two keys to the left of the spacebar, or near the left "Alt" key.) Hit "L." Windows locks the computer and requires a password to unlock it.
Feel safe about leaving your computer.
Tips & Warnings
- Make sure your password isn't a word that can be guessed. This is easiest to do by making it a rule that all your passwords are preceded by an "!" sign, or the third character is always a "(" sign.
- Make sure you know your password before doing this, or you could get locked out.
