Locking your computer using sys.key

Sys.key is an interesting way to lock your computer;

1.Go to START>RUN… Type in “syskey”;

2. When the next window appears click UPDATE

3. Make sure that in the next window you select the next options

4. Before you click OK, insert the Floppy diskette;

5. Now just exit the program and restart your computer.

What we actually did with this simple tweak is a physical key you put inside a computer whenever you want to use it, the key being the diskette. It’s kinda fancy…

    Can this be done with a USB flash drive or any other kind of removable device besides floppy disk because my comp doesn’t have a floppy drive.
