Locking your workstation is very important. Cause when you leave your workstation unlocked, anyone can use your workstation and assume your network identity, gaining access to any applications or files to which you have access. There you have to keep your workstation secure. You should lock your workstation whenever you leave it, even if you will only be gone for a few minutes.
Here are some methods to lock your xp workstation real fast.
Method 1: Creating a shortcut
Go to your Desktop
Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click
Enter the following command in the location field:
rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
Give the shortcut a name you like
That’s it..
Method 2: Using A Keyboard shortcut
You can lock your workstation by pressing Windows Logo + L.
Method 3: Using Ctrl+Alt+Delete
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del and click on Lock Computer
Method 4: Locking your computer through the screen saver
Go to your Desktop
Right-click and select Properties
The Display Properties window will be open
Select the Screen Saver tab
From the drop-down list, select a screen saver file
In the “Wait:” field, set the amount of time you want the screen saver to wait for activity before starting.
Check the Password protected box
click OK
From now on, when the screen saver comes on, your workstation will be locked.
Unlocking your computer
However you choose to lock your computer, to unlock it, press Ctrl-Alt-Del. A window will appear where you can enter the password for the username under which you’re logged in.
Some time ago I wrote that I was going to see some musicals in the “summer”. Well, summer?! The past weeks it looked a lot like winter time; cold, grey and with a lot of rain! Luckily it didn’t snow!
Anyway, Sunday when we left our house to see Les Miserables musical in Rotterdam. The weather wasn’t any better; again it was cold, grey and it was raining. (See the picture below!) Jannie in the rain…
Because the musical is playing in the “Nieuwe Luxor Theather” in Rotterdam we had to get there first, so after sitting in the Bus, train and the metro and almost 2 hours later we arrived at the theater. Nieuwe Luxor Theater in Rotterdam
After waiting for about 30 minutes at the bar the show started. This show was pretty special, cause some of the actors had switched there role’s and that was a good thing for Jannie. Because now she liked the main character better.
Before the show started I had to read the story, cause the store is a bit complicated. So when the show started I knew the story.
Anyway the show was really good! Everything about the show was just great! The sound, the acting, the music, everything!
When I went to the show I didn’t knew what to expect and by the end of the show I knew one thing for sure: I have to see this musical again!
So we’re planning to go back and see the show again in a couple of months. In the meantime I’ll just listen to the cd!
PS: The same Sunday it was Red Bull Air Race in Rotterdam also. Unfortunately we couldn’t see the race because we were watching the musical but at the time that the musical was finished I could make some pictures… Some cool airplanes
The Air Race track
So Sunday it was a very long day for us but we did enjoy it very much. As you can see on the photo’s here above the weather changed a bit. We might have the chance to see the sun before the summer ends!
Yesterday I got a comment from Liam and he told me that he had tagged me! Anyway I love memes and like the other times I’m going to participate. The only difference with the old meme is that I’m going to tag 4 others! Continue Reading…
Today I found a great extension for Firefox and it’s called: All-in-One Sidebar. All-in-One Sidebar adds a sidebar to your Firefox and it provides you easy access to all your panels such as downloads, extensions, history and your bookmarks. It even enables you to view source or websites in the sidebar. All-in-One Sidebar includes a slide-out button and a toolbar which is easy customized; You can set the toolbar to left or right, set the minimum, default and maximum width and the behavior on browser startup.
I have just installed this and I already love it! It is very easy to use and it doesn’t need that much space. I have customized it and made sure that the toolbar is only 6 1px wide. How am I going to see it? Easy: NOT! I love shortcuts and All-in-One sidebar has some handy keyboard shortcuts which you can change if you want too! So I don’t have to see the toolbar, I just use the shortcuts instead, Much easier and faster for me!
F4 - open or close the sidebar
Ctrl+Shift+F4 - open or close the options dialog
Ctrl+Shift+E - open or close the Extensions
Ctrl+Shift+T - open or close the Themes
Ctrl+Shift+P - open or close the Page Info
Ctrl+Shift+J - open or close the Error Console
Ctrl+Shift+M - open or close the MultiPanel
Ctrl+Shift+Y - open sidebar in a new tab
Ctrl+Shift+X - open tab in sidebar
Anyway, It’s a great extension which IS really handy and easy to use. Give it a try!

Some days ago Jannie received a letter from the Dieren Lotterij (Animals Lottery). This organization saves and rescues animals which are in need. In order to do that they need money and that’s why we donate some money each month to keep the animals save. Jannie has been a member for a long time but she didn’t knew that you could actually win something with the Dieren Lotterij.
So we got a letter which said that we had won a set of suitcases which is worth about € 250! How cool is that, I mean just a couple of weeks ago we had decided to buy some suitcases because the old one has almost passed away and now we get that for free!
Anyway, the set should be delivered in a week or 6 but just today we got them!
I love meme’s and this time I was tagged by Sailor, thnx Sailor! Anyway, this meme is about four things in various categories about yourself and now it’s my turn to tell you something about myself.
It’s Monday again and for a lot of people it’s the end of there weekend and time to go to work and what way to start your week than with a great funny video!

Some months ago while I was searching for the right CSS menu for my blog I came across List-O-Matic. List-O-Matic enables you to generate CSS-styled navigation menu’s in three very easy steps. First you have to choose how many links you want your menu to have and if you want to include title attributes in links. When you’ve make your selection you can enter the link details. After this step you can choose one of the 17 pre made designs which suits your website or blog. Don’t mind the colors of the pre made designs as you can change the colors later. When you’ve chosen your design you’ll get the codes which you need for your website or blog.
As you can see this is very easy to use and a great tool for those who want to have a nice CSS menu but don’t know how they can create there own! Click here to make your own CSS menu.
Since a couple of days I’m a proud owner of a Nintendo Wii. I got it from Jannie because I graduated. Ever since I got the Wii I want to play with it as much as I can. I never though that I would love it that much but it’s really cool. You can do almost everything with the Wii Remote and the Nunchuck. Right now I’m playing The Godfather game and it’s really cool. You have to start from scratch and make your way up to the top. You can drive around in the city, doing some missions for the family, exploiting business and much more! Off course using the Wii Remote and the Nunchunck is very cool and it gives to the felling like your really are IN the game!
I also love to play Super Mario Galaxy. When some creature escapes into space with Princess Peach, it’s Mario job to chase and explore bizarre planets all across the galaxy in order to rescue Princess Peach. Since he’s in space, Mario can perform some cool jumps unlike anything he’s done before. He’ll also have a wealth of new moves that are all based around tilting, pointing and shaking the Wii Remote. With other words: FUN!
Like I said: I never though that playing Wii would be so fun.. I’m very glad that I have it now, because the weather in The Netherlands is very bad right now. It’s supposed to be summer, but till now it has rained almost EVERY DAY! The bad thing is that it’s going to last for some more days. So playing Wii is actually the best option beside going to the cinema and going out to diner!
