Locks your PC when you're away to keep from prying eyes from accessing private data or messing around.

Shared PCs, friends over, kids messing about and other things can put your personal security at risk if they're given full access to your PC. That's when a privacy protection program which can lock your PC when you're away comes in handy and that's exactly what WinLockr does.

The first step when using WinLockr is for you to set a password. Whether or not its running as a portable application from a USB stick or from your system. Once your system is locked, you will be required to enter the password in order to access your desktop again.

While the system is locked, you may only use the keyboard to enter a password for locking and unlocking. If you enter the password incorrectly too many times (as defined by you), the attempts will be recorded and the system may beep or shutdown. You can also have WinLockr disallow others from shutting down your system.
