Hi:
Put a password on your Windows Logon account

Vista and W7 work the same way.
You can also take more draconian steps, and put a power on password in your BIOS. Then a person can't even get to the Windows screen.
This is pretty drastic, and if you forget your password it could be a problem to clear it, depending on what model PC you have.

Hi,
I have a HP puter with Windows 7. The puter is about 6 months old. I appreciate the help.
Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
On the link below is a guide to set a password on your Windows 7 account.

Once this is set up, any time you want to lock your PC, hold down the Windows key and press L.

Another possibility is to put a BIOS, or CMOS password on your PC. This is relatively common for laptops.
