They sure don't give students admin rights at my school!

i had admin rights in high school

anyway umm when im using xp i tend to lock, when using 98se i cant be bothered to set a user password so i dont have any point in locking

I don't lock mine. I don't need too.

If my pc was password protected, my wife would find that suspicious and would probably imagine all kinds of stupid things. Since i have nothing to hide, she can poke all she wants. She as her own pc and i know when she pokes around on mine when i'm not there.

i dont really need to but some times i will when there are nosey visitors around, its better to be safe then sorry, id rather not lose any of my data due to being to trusting in everybody

I always lock my computer at work as I have high level rights and I dont want to leave it so people could come and sit at my PC and elevate their rights or "misuse" the system using my account.

At home I don't bother locking my PC as I very rarely leave it long enough for my wife to find my "educational" films ;-) (which are well hidden) plus my wife has her own PC so has no need to use mine

i don't lock my home computer, but whenever i go to print something at school etc, i always lock before i leave. so many people trying to change passwords...

At home no, my wife would have a hissy fit.

At work yes, I'm a domain admin so every time I leave my desk. I keep a shortcut to "Lock Workstation" in my quicklaunch.

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