    Useful, quick shortcuts to common actions are not always available in a OS, specially Windows. luckily we can hack are way into the registry or tweak easily the default behavior and its functionality to suite our needs.

    Below are three tutorials I put together recently for Windows XP (and Vista) users.

    Create a Shortcut for Locking Your Computer Screen in Windows XP or Vista.


     

    Notes from video:
    Shortcut information to enter is:
    rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation

    The icon can be changed to a system icon if you point to the file in c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll when browsing for a new icon to change it to.
