Windows Key + L

 

[SimonDavies]

Ahh but the problem with using that is not every keyboard has the windows key.

Simply create a shortcut and have this in the target location.

%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation

The real world is not about exam scores, it's about ability.
