Hi,

Password the account and enable a screen saver password.  That will do
it, so long as the screen saver will come on.  If she has a login
password, she needs to enter it in whenever she logs in.

Subject: [access-uk] Software for locking laptop

Hi all,
Does anyone know of any software that can protect the laptop from being
used 
by other people? My girlfriend's got involved in a bit of a fight
tonight, 
because her sister was doing things she shouldn't be doing to her
laptop. So 
what she was thinking is maybe have software that automatically locks
her 
laptop down after a certain period, then to unlock it she'd enter a
password 
which only she knows. Perhaps the software could turn the screen black
or 
something like that, something that would stop her sister from invading 
Hannah's "laptop privacy" really. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
By 
the way, this should work with JAWS, and it should be free. She's also
using 
Windows XP Home SP3.
