Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
why don't you just lock the screen when you walk away?
How do you lock the screen in Vista?
ctrl-alt-delete, then select "lock screen". you'll have to set up a password.
Be sure to pick a password that the cat can't guess.
Connie,
windows-L will lock the screen. Very quick.
you can also set your screensaver to password protect so that if you go away and forget, it locks the computer.
our computers at work do that but it's a fifteen minute delay. Plenty of time for the cat to buy his own private island.

He's started closing the laptop when he has to leave, and the cats will then sit on the closed computer and glare because we've taken their fun away. It might be time to check the Internet history and see if one of them has set up a Facebook account or something.
