Screen Locking

Is there any software out there whereby I can lock my computer when I am walking away from it. I can use the screensaver but it takes a few minutes for the screensaver to activate and sometimes I need to go in emergencies thus i can't wait.

My previous Vista machine had a feature whereby you clicked on 'lock' and it would only unlock once the password was entered.

Could someone point me in the right direction.
 
Yep!

Another is to set up a Hot Corner to activate the screen saver just by moving your mouse to that corner.

Wow, cheers bud. These features are impressive. Hotcorners is cool, never seen anything like it on Windows.

Simplicity at its best.

Again, I appreciate the pronto reply - I have a big smile on my face 😀
