Hey that is good one.. may be old but an another tricky way to lock down computer.

This is really useful trick to make fun with friends. Thanks

Yeah, this is really a cool trick. I was implementing shutdown -s -t trick on my school computers. Even this sounds great. Thanks indeed.

Although, as you said, the trick is old, I haven’t heard about it. I have never thought about the necessity to lock my pc but now when my daughter is growing, maybe it’s a good idea.
