Re: Lock This Computer
Well, if you are around people who like to screw with your PC and or Laptop,
It is a great feature and is in the right spot. I left the room for 2 min.
and someone, or should I say 5 of them came up with and idea to put a
password in for me. Why should I have a password at home???Now I use that
feature all the time after costing me a half case.
