Hi

Does anyone know how to stop the computer being locked by holding the windows key & L down together. I have disabled locking the workstation so the Lock Workstation button is disabled in the windows security screen, but they can still do it by pressing the windows key & L...

Thanks
Rob

Even if you managed remove that key combination (which is possible, but only if you start editing hex in the registry for the local machine) users could still lock their workstations by typing "rundll32 user32, LockWorkStation" in run. I don't think there's any solution to this unfortunately.

The run fuction is not available to the users, nor do they have the ability to create shortcuts, if anyone knows how to disable that key combination that would be helpful...

Thanks
