The tweak master has come to the rescue.

If you ever need a tweak just pm me. :)

If you want to set it so only the current user can't lock your computer then open regedit and go here:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System]

If you want to set it so no one can lock your computer then open regedit and go here:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System]

Change the dword key "DisableLockWorkstation" either to 0 for disabled or 1 for enabled.

If the dword is not already created then create it and set it either to 1 or 0.

Enjoy,
Will

Hi Will,

This is impressive. You are the Microsoft Windows Registry Professional. :D

Well I went up to here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System]
But there wasn't a dword key called DisableLockWorkstation, but I donno why.
Should I create such a dword?

Thanks. :)

Um read bitch:

If the dword is not already created then create it and set it either to 1 or 0.

lol just kidding man

but yes create it

of course make a backup of your registry first

oh and dont forget to restart before you see if it works or not ;)

Ok thanks Will. I can't believe I missed the last line before. :)

I wonder how Windows Registry recognizes our customized commands. I will check this as soon as I restart. Thanks again. :)

It is not custom. It is there, but just disalbed by default so there is no key. No key means disabled.

Or so you think. Can be enabled too. ;)

Microsoft sets them. They are just hiddin settings, that have been documented elsewhere.

Or so i beleive.
