Stardust Desktop Lock is a handy and reliable application designed to lock down your computer. When a computer is locked down it is "password protected". During this phase it is either sleeping, displaying a login screen, a screen saver or asking for a password.
Stardust Desktop Lockputs your computer into that state, in accordance with policies defined by your machine. As a user, should you need to step away from your computer, simply double-click the installed Desktop Lock icon and your desktop will be (after a short delay, as defined by Windows policies) protected from prying eyes.
Other utilities are available to immediately start a screen saver, however Desktop Lock is different because it does not require a screen saver (it will prompt you for one if not set, but a screen saver is not required) and also because simply starting a screen saver does not ensure your system is secure. (For example, what if the screen saver is not password protected?)
Stardust Desktop Lock takes care of securing your system wth the built-in functionality of Windows using a simple double-click of an icon.
