    :D Guess what?! You can indeed "lock" your computer with password protected screen saver (oh! it is the safest way as it is also a combination of CHARACTERS instead of locks but they do lock though they are pass"keys" ! :P)

    If you are using XP, go to your Desktop > Right click > Properties > Screen Saver > check "on resume, password protect"

    If you are using 7, Desktop > Right click > Personalize > Screen Saver > On resume, display logon screen

    Don't forget to password protect your User Account. :)

    Note: You can set the time too... :)
