Lock your machine from the command prompt
Load your command prompt and type the following command:
- rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
You could also use the above command as a shortcut on you desktop. Or if you have a multimedia keyboard on which you can customize the command on one of its smart keys, just put in that command and label it Lock Workstation. You'll be able to lock your machine by just hitting ONE key.
