One Button To Lock Computer...

i'm looking for a button on my dock (like a shortcut to a program) to lock my win2000 computer...i know there is a small program for shutdown, but i'm looking to lock my computer. why lock? cuz i dont like to use the screensaver because it puts the cpu at 100% and the fan makes an annoying noisy sound (especially when i try to sleep)

if anyone has any clue what im talking about, god bless, lol

Here is info for doing this task in XP. Might work in 2000, don't know.

Create a Desktop Shortcut to Lock Your Computer

You secure your computer by locking it whenever you’re away from your desk. If you’re on a domain, by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL and then clicking Lock Computer, you can prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to your computer. Only you and members of the Administrators group on your computer can unlock it. (You unlock it by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL, typing your password, and then clicking OK.)To create an even quicker means of securing your computer, place a shortcut on your desktop to lock your computer.

Right-click an open area of your desktop, point to New, and then click Shortcut.

In the Location box, type

%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

Click Next, in the Name box type a name for the shortcut such as, Lock Computer, and then click Finish.

Sounds Good!

Does anybody have a Golden Key-set PNG. There is a gray PNG icon of a set of keys but I'm looking for a gold set.

Thanks

First of all, in case some of you aren't aware, you can also lock your computer with the Windows Key + L. That's if you don't want an icon. I have 3 pngs here for you. I tried making them gold in photoshop but couldn't quite get the levels exacty how I wanted them, so I trashed them.

Here they are though:

EDIT: Sakasune, your Signature kicks butt by the way, lol

and maybe if microsoft wants to succeed, they should launch an ad campaign based on my sig....or not
