As others have mentioned, locking will work as you requested. However, I
want to point out that an admin can't "unlock" your station. He can
force a logoff by entering his userid/password, but he can't get into
your session with his userid/password.

Subject: [PCTECH] W2K Pro: background tasks run while Windows "locked"?

Periodically, I would like to leave some long-running tasks running on
my PC
(Defrag, AV scans, etc.) when I leave work for the day.  If I
Ctrl-Alt-Del
to get to the "Windows Security" dialog, I have six option buttons, the
first of which is Lock Computer.  Clicking this locks Windows, requiring
my
(or the net admin's) password to unlock it.

So, I'd like to be able to lock Windows in this way and have defrag or
AV
scans work in the background.

Will this work?
