Is there a way to lock the keyboard for example whilst away from the computer
for a while so typing does not occur in error.
thanks

Hope you don't mind me jumping in here rather than making a new post, but I
was wondering if the "lock" is disengaged when the PC is re-booted? We have
a certain computers that we would rather no one use when the "owner" is not
in, such as weekends and overnight (we are a 24 hour a day operation). If
not, do you know of any other way to "secure" a PC to keep others off?
Thanks!

Nothing that I am aware of other than having the machine in a locked room.

You can however set which machine a User Account is allowed to log into.
This is found in the User Account's settings. We have at least one account
at our place that is only allowed to log into two possible machines,...all
others will reject them.

Locked room not an option. Thanks for your response...we may have to set
that up.

Hi Susan
Am I overlooking something ?
Any Windows XP / Win 2000 can be password protected at boot.
Also the Screen Saver can be configured with Password protection on resume,
so that the PC automatically locks up in - say 10 minutes - .
If the user authenticates on a domain server, you can restrict log-on hours
to only weekdays.
If no Server, you can configure more user accounts with different access
rights on the PC.
Wouldn't that be enough ?

I think these would be people who have their own legitament accounts and can
log on to anything they want with their own accounts. Of course that could
be a wrong assumption,...the original post only had three sentences :-)
