Create a locking desktop shortcut 

Create a desktop shortcut that you can double-click to lock your computer. You'll find this shortcut handy for locking your computer whenever you want to step away from your desk.

 

Here's how to set it up:

  1. Create a shortcut to the rundll32.exe file in your \WINNT\System32 folder. 
  2. Modify the properties of the shortcut so that the Target text box reads as follows:

C:\WINNT\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation

  1. Click OK to save your changes. 
Note: When you double-click on this shortcut, Windows NT locks your computer and displays the Unlock Computer dialog box (for logging back in).
