I did not even know this keyboard shortcut existed. What a great shortcut for teachers and staff around a building full of curious little minds. For example, you are in the middle of an email and something comes up (happens all the time to me) so you need to quickly (under two seconds-I promise) lock your screen and attend to the matter. By holding down the Windows Key and pressing L - your screen will lock. See picture below. Then your screen will only show a login prompt for your password. Just type in your password that you use everyday for your computer and the screen goes right back to what you were working on. Last week I showed several teachers this and they loved it. I am now using it every day. Give it a try, I promise you will benefit from it. As always, thanks for reading and any questions or comments please post below under the comment’s section.  [...] [...] Locking Your Computer Alvin Trusty, from Findlay University, wrote a post last week, titled Efficiency Tip # 12- Windows L,  about being able to lock your computer screen with ease.

It is a habit whenever I get up from my desk. I have heard you can buy a usb key and it is on a tether. Whenever you pull the usb key out, it locks your computer. I use this all of the time.
