Looking for a software that locks your desktop? USBLock might be useful for you......

USBLock - is a simple application that locks computer desktop. This simple app allows a user to lock desktop to prevent unauthorized person to change or view files on the computer. In order to unlock the desktop again, the user must have the physical drive or USB device that is specified as the "USB Password". Without this drive, users can't unlock the desktop.

While the desktop is locked, the keyboard won't work except the "ctrl+alt+del" keys which means typing any characters does not send the command to the system. If a user press the "ctrl+alt+del" combo keys, task manager will be opened but will lose its focus thus, the users cannot force the program to be terminated.

The image above displays the main screen of the application.

Functions:

Set Password - clicking this button allows the user to change the application password and the USB
                        Password.
