How to Create a "Lock Computer" Shortcut in Windows 7

Information

This will show you how to create a shortcut to use to lock your computer. You can also Pin to Taskbar or Pin to Start Menu this shortcut, or move where you like for easy use.

Tip

After Creating the shortcut you could pin it on your taskbar if you wish to. In my opinion it would be easier since it requires only a click

Here's How:

1. Right click anywhere on your desktop, and select New and Shortcut.

2. Type rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation and click on Next.

3. Type Lock Computer for the name, and click on Finish.

4. You are done. Now next time you want to lock your computer, simply click this shortcut. That’s all. Enjoy!
NOTE: You can also press Windows Key + L to lock your computer as well.

Tip

This is the icon I'm using right now if you would like to use it for your shortcut too.
