Would having a standard that you lock your PC with Windows_key + L, or have a screen saver with a password that kicks in after "n" minutes of activity?

Just chiming in here as a Security consultant. Has anyone thought through
the companies policy about logging into a logged in desk top at the office
if no one is at the fiscal desktop or location. What are the chances of a
hacker hi-jacking the PC. I bet the VPN doesn't go directly to the PC. VPN
usually only goes as far as the companies internal network. Making an
active PC fair game to hack if the network is penetrated.

I'm talking out loud and looking for solutions so please don't shoot this
down without thinking about it and if you can provided a valid solution.
The solution is going to be important for everyone. Please don't say we
need to depend on our firewalls and building security because we all know
both of these items can be hacked.
