Hi Dan,

How about a sticky key function on Windows OS help, If I need to lock my
computer,
1. Switch on the sticky key : press shift key 5 times and hit on yes in the
alert.
2. once sticky keys is on once can use individual keys to activate a
function than using all at once. for windows + l, press Windows key first
and then L. For control + Alt + Del, Press Control then Alt and then
delete.


Thanks & Regards
