QUOTE(adrian_huen @ Oct 12 2006, 06:08 PM) if you use winlogin password,someone can break in to steal your data & you won't know it.. true.i just need 2 min to break in a computer using winlogin..  perhaps a good compromise before getting a s/w for it. |

QUOTE(gary_cheah85 @ Oct 13 2006, 03:55 PM) winlogon is not good. i wouldn't trust any thumbdrive so much coz i've got one and it got spoiled twice currently i'm using mylock from smarthumb works well by installing into ur thumbdrive. just activate and unplug thumbdrive. keyboard disabled even after reboot.  QUOTE(dopodplaya @ Oct 13 2006, 03:55 PM) Syskey works with Windows NT operating systems (NT 4/2000/XP/Server 2003) only. If I am not mistaken this type of encryption is already default in XP Pro's, right?Syskey is irreversible and remember to backup your key to floppy before doing this. Btw with Windows XP SP2 and Server 2003, syskey is enabled by default. LSA hook password crack will render your system into crash if you do it with Windows XP SP1 and Windows Server 2003. |

if u just going off to get a coffee or toilet, and your colleagues not IT savvy just log off by switching users would be the fastest.
don't log off your user, as it will close your programs and stuff, very slow to start back up. |
