Did you mean Windows Key - L rather than CTRL - L?

I wasn't really debating,just mentioning that on an XP Pro machine, you have to use the Windows Key and L to lock the desktop and not CTRL - L.

I'm with Wendell, though. Much quicker to lock the desktop. In fact, I may not log off (which I should) Windows for weeks and never close AC or log off.

I don't think it matters being a small practice or one with 100 users. A patient in a room is a patient in a room. I would never leave the computer open. One, they can get to probably ALL your data as your are a domain admin or, if not, at least info on your computer or even the server if still a work group. Plus, there will be patients who don't mess around with your computer, but wonder about who else does.

I have F7 programmed to lock the computer, which seems like only one less step, but is much easier since I can hold the chart or whatever in one hand and click on F7 with the other.
