If you’re a Windows user, you know how to lock your computer screen in Windows 7 or Vista. But what if you don’t have a password for your computer? What if someone has access to your computer and can lock your screen without your knowledge? In this article, we’ll show you how to lock your computer screen in Windows 7 or Vista using the built-in security features of the operating system. We’ll also show you how to use third-party security tools to protect your computer screen.

  1. Open the Start menu and type “screensaver” into the search bar.
  2. If screensaver options are not available on your computer, open “System Preferences” and select “Screen savers.”
  3. In Screen savers, click on the “Lock Screen” tab and enter a password for your computer screen. Click on the “Create New Screen Saver” button and name your new screensaver “Screen Lock.”
  4. Click on the “Save As” button and save your new screensaver to your hard drive.

Here’s how to easily create a shortcut to lock Windows 7, Vista, or even Windows XP as well.

Right-click wherever you want to create the shortcut, choose New, and then Shortcut.

Enter the following text into the shortcut textbox. Note that the screen will look different on Windows XP, but the same text should work.

Enter a name for the shortcut, and then click Finish. That’s about all there is to it.
