Hi all!

I'm looking for a way to password-protect or otherwise lock-out XP while I'm temporarily away from the workstation. XP only seems to have an “On resume, display Welcome Screen” option, which is no good to me since there is a highly restricted passwordless profile available there (for the kids to play games on). I need a way to stop the workstation being used at all if I am only stepping away from it for a moment. Is this possible without buying additional software?

Many thanks for your help!!
