Quickly lock your PC

Not sure if this works on Vista or not, but the fastest, easiest way to lock your PC if you are using Windows XP is to press the Windows + L keys at the same time. Very quick, very easy.

You should always lock your computer at work, no matter how short you think you will be away.
