Thanks for sharing, but why would double clicking a script be easier than pressing Windows-L?

What if you didn't have the Windows key on your keyboard? I know a lot of people - especially those who do data-entry for large companies - that prefer the old style keyboards that have the AT keyboard plug, that way 40 pounds, and that make a clicky sound when a key is pressed.

Frankly, thisis the first time I have ever heard of the Windows-L combo, as I tend to just ignore the key, myself.

That is a good point regarding the keyboard.

Thanks, Did think about a windows hot key,
Idealy I wanted to write a script that locked a remote workstation but only came up with this one. This one only works if copied there first. Anyway...
At least you could tie it into another script.
