9Locker

9Locker is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you lock your screen using a simple pattern tracing action.

You can use this tool via your mouse or touchscreen. Plus, it is important to mention that it offers support for multiple monitors.

9Locker sports a clean and intuitive layout that allows you to configure the dedicated parameters with minimum effort.

The program gives you the possibility to draw the pattern twice and set up passwords for being able to access your desktop in case you have forgotten the custom pattern.

What’s more, you are allowed to change the background of your lock screen by uploading an image from the computer (JPG, PNG, or BMP file format) or selecting a color. You can choose the picture position, such as stretch, center, tile, or zoom mode.

When it comes to configuration settings, you are allowed to hide the pattern line, run the utility at Windows startup, play sound notifications when the logon process fails, send email messages, specify the number of retries, as well as disable remote access operations.

Since it doesn’t require much computer knowledge to set up the dedicated parameters, even rookies can master the entire process with minimum effort.

During our testing we have noticed that 9Locker carries out a task quickly. As it would be expected from such a small utility, it remains light on system resources, so it doesn’t burden the overall performance of the computer, nor interfere with other programs’ functionality.

To sum things up, 9Locker offers a handy set of parameters for helping you restrict other users’ access to your desktop.
