Strange problem, I have an XP ICS Host that I can lock via the Win Key + L switch, but when I try it on the client, all it does is log me off!! Even from the Task Manager I am not able to Lock my client PC :confused: :confused:

I don't know if Brent is still around or not but he had a similar problem I believe with XP. Maybe it was John damn sorry I can not remember.

Thanks for replying John. I had done a search for XP lock so that I could post a thread link but the search wouldn't accept the 2 character XP and all I got were off beat search responses.

here is what you do porf: go into the control panel and then to "User accounts", then under "PICK A TASK" clikc on "change the way a user logs on and off".

Thanx J, I'll try that as soon as I get home :)
