yes it does. have it put the laptop to sleep, and then turn on "require a password on wakeup"

Surely the whole 2 seconds it takes to power a laptop on from standby isn't that much of a problem? As this will lock the system...
If there's something you still don't like about that.... in Linux I would just set it to Disabled and write an ACPI hook. Dunno if you can do that jazz in Windows though.

It's not what I want becuase I like to leave my connection on so I receive msn messages, and when its in standby it cant do this.

Windows key + L, Close the lid. Done.
RE: Laptop program locker by toddy on 07-07-2007 at 09:29 PM
could simply do; "windows button" + L >> close the lid
Dazzy beat me

Thats what I am currently doing. I was wondering if anyone knew of a program where all you need to do is shut the lid to lock it.
