Lock the Screen Shortcut

To Lock Screen in Windows 7 you have to 

press the Windows Key + L to lock it, now. The screen would be locked and password 

protected in case you have one.
 

In case you don‟t like shortkeys or you keep 

forgetting them, there‟s another option for 

screen lock.

 

Simply create a new shortcut to C:\Windows

\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, 

LockWorkStation and place it whenever you want.
