Here’s something I discovered a couple weeks ago that some people may find useful. It’s not rocket science or anything and a lot of people probably already knew about it. But I’m posting it here partially so I remember about it. Anyway, I found you can lock your computer using a shortcut pointed to “%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation”. This is very useful for when you have to work on keyboard that is lacking the windows key (like IBM Thinkpads). Once you have the shortcut you can either click on it or setup a shortcut key (I did Ctrl + Shift + Alt + L). Anyway, that’s my 2 cents for the day (or month at my current blogging rate).
