How can I have the Lock sign at the task bar? ( to lock
the system when I go away)

Thanks
 
Right-click on the desktop (not on an icon)
Select New

Type the following:
Lock Workstation
Click [Finish]
Drag the icon onto the Quick Launch area of the Taskbar
Right-click the icon
Click Properties

Search for an icon (a gold "Lock" comes with XP, not 2000)
Click [Open]
Click [OK]
Click [OK]

Another way to Lock the computer:
Hold down the [CTRL] and [ALT] keys and press the [DEL] key

Or the "Windows" key + L

(The "Windows" key is the key with the Windows logo between the CTRL and ALT
buttons on most newer keyboards)
