Ok, I wanna lock my work station while away from it. I'm running XP Pro and have been told to press Ctrl, Alt, Del and click lock station. This just brings up the windows task manager wothout any lock options. Any other ideas of how to do it?

Thanks!

You must be using the 'Welcome screen' log in.
If you want to switch to the classic method and be able to simply use Ctrl+Alt+Del then go into your Control Panel and 'User Accounts' then click to "Change the way users log on or off" and uncross the two boxes

yes, as Chris's correct shortcut in welcome mode activates fast user switching.

If you have a password though it should do the kina the same thing as Lock Computer.
