How to lock your computer
Ever since I worked in a call center we were taught to lock our computer whenever we left the desk. It’s important for privacy and to protect whatever information you have stored there as well as whatever you’re working on. I was surprised to learn that a lot of people don’t know how to do this. It’s easy. One way to do this is to press the Windows key and the letter L on a Microsoft compatible keyboard. Another way to do this is to press CTRL-ALT-DELETE and then click on lock computer. Before locking make sure you know your password or you won’t be able to unlock.

Thank you for this information. I concluded that my colleagues from the office read my mails and because that I very disappointed. I think that is very important to preserve privacy for several reasons.

This is a common call center “safety measure”. I too learned it in a call center. It’s good to lock tour PC, no matter where you work.
