Desktop Secret Lock

Private data can never be too safe, even if the threats are coming from an online perspective or from an offline environment, you have to take all measures in order to secure your information. Focusing on local security, if you are looking for a tool that can lock your computer and can be customized, Desktop Secret Lock can give you a helping hand.

When the installation process is completed, the application launches the Quick Start menu. From there you can notice the three steps that require your attention before using the app. The first step lets you set up a password that will be used to regain access to your desktop. The second one tests your password to ensure you that you know and will remember the combination, while the third and final step locks your desktop.

These steps are performed only once, but they can be repeated if you decide to change the password.

As the basic process is limited to a lock/unlock routine, there are some options that change the overall behavior of your machine while locked. For example, you can set the app to lock right after the computer was restarted. This way, you are making sure that nobody can access you data even if they reboot the PC.

If you have a well-determined schedule, you can set up the app to lock the computer automatically, or to lock it after specific idle time.

For every executed action, Desktop Secret Lock generates a log entry with date and time attached. This feature allows you to see if other persons attempted to unlock your PC. The log is automatically erased by default, but if you want to clean it manually or after you hit a specific number of entries, just modify the options.

Desktop Secret Lock is a neat utility that offers strong protection against local threats like curios people or children, and it provides several tools that can make the almost un-breakable. Due to its ease-of-use, the app can be safely operated by both skilled users as well as non-technical ones.
