Okay I am wondering if there is a solution I can use that incorporates itself into the Windows log off, shutdown, restart, etc... menu.

I am looking for this solution to add in the lock screen option. Not lock screen as in log off but lock screen as in lock the screen and have a password prompt on the screen but you can still see what everything is doing in the background (Useful when scanning the computer).

This would be especially useful on my shared computer because then my family can see my screen when I am scanning but not snoop through my account. Obviously, this solution would need to have an option to also switch users in-case the other user really needs to use the computer and the screen is locked but they don't want to shut it off/restart it.

Is there a solution someone can point me to that can do just this???

Oh yeah btw I would like it to be free (Not a trial)...

    Ummm yeah there are plenty of questions like this so idk what your talking about... Doesn't matter now I found a program. I understand though... – Radical924 Oct 01 '13 at 03:28
  • Besides, there is no way to do this built-in, so of course achieving this would require software. Duh. Maybe questions that try to do things that aren’t basic and come with the OS are just not welcome here. ◔_◔ – Synetech Dec 19 '13 at 05:33

  • @techie007 I dont know why. I can open it without any problems or warnings. Because I use OSX i can't test it. But on different forums there this tool was suggested. But here another link which hopefully should work: http://www.heise.de/download/computer-lock-up-1113799.html – Christian Sep 25 '13 at 20:00
  • @techie007 I'm using SEP and I opened it up fine. – MDMoore313 Sep 25 '13 at 20:07
  • Websense blocks this link. It characterizes it as "Potentially malicious/hacking." – Robert Harvey Sep 25 '13 at 20:10
  • I've changed the link. On this site, there are many other tools. Eventually also some bad tools. But now I've changed the link to a trusted downloading-site. Even if the original link was the link to the creator-site of the tool. But the new download is virus-proofed. It's a german website, but the tool is in english. – Christian Sep 25 '13 at 20:16
  • I'm sorry, but I don't know a free alternative, which does the same. You have to invest the 20$. This is quiet cheap. There are many other alternatives which costs around 25$ to 49$. – Christian Sep 28 '13 at 21:01

Windows 7 lets you use a folder with images as source to an image gallery, you can have only one, alpha-channel only image.
