If you work on your computer where other people can see sometimes you want to hide things quickly. Or maybe you just want to take a break and don't want everything on your computer available to other people. One thing you can do is to have your screen blank out after a certain time and require a password on waking it you but you don't want to have to wait for that to happen. Any time you want to lock your machine quickly you just hold down the Windows key and press the "L" This will immediately lock the computer till your password or pin code is put in. While this will work for all Windows based computers whether desktop or laptop, it won't work for Macs. On a mac with an optical drive you can press control + shift + eject. If it is a newer Apple computer you press command + control + shift. As a special for clients in Kansas City, MO please comment on this post and I will give you 10% off your next service.
