Lock My PC™ is an easy in use,
powerful and compact tool to lock your computer from unauthorized use.
When you leave your computer unattended, the program disables the hot
keys (including Ctrl+Alt+Del),
mouse, locks CD/DVD ROM doors and displays a lock screen. Nobody can
access your system without providing the correct unlock password.
Unlike another similar computer lock software that cannot lock Ctrl+Alt+Del on a computer running Windows XP,
our Lock My PC runs own keyboard driver to block such key combinations.
Moreover, bulletproof startup lock guarantee that when your computer
locaked at startup, this lock cannot be bypassed even in safe mode!
Why Lock My PC ?
You
don't like snoopers. They are always prying into your e-mail messages,
programs, data, files, etc. Lock My PC allows you to lock your computer
with a password while you leave it unattended. You can lock your
computer manually, with a menu or hotkey, or set up auto lock when your
computer is idle.
Features and benefits:
Difference from standard Windows XP computer lock feature
A
lot of users believe that Lock My PC (as well as any other third party
computer lock software) is useless because Windows XP has integrated
computer lock feature. Well, indeed, you can simply press Win+L on
Windows XP computer keyboard and your screen will be safely locked.
What advantages Lock My PC has over Windows computer lock?
First
of all, when your computer is locked by Windows Lock feature, anyone
who has Windows Administrative privileges can unlock your computer.
Such unlock will force to close your session (all unsaved changes will
be lost). If Welcome screen option is enabled on your computer (the
default settings for non-domain computer), Win+L doesn't lock the
computer at all - it temporary switches the user off and displays the
welcome screen - if you share your computer with others, they can logon
with their usernames and use your computer. Moreover, if you share your
account with other users (it's common for home PC), Windows XP lock
feature is useless at all - your folks will unlock your computer
without any problem.
Another benefits of Lock My PC in comare with Windows lock feature:
lock screens and transparent lock screen options - your computer can be
used as a presentation machine - the screen displays pictures or video,
but nobody can touch your computer;
