Create an account, start the Secure My Screen application, and with a simple mouse click or by pressing a hotkey, you can lock your computer and thus ensure somebody else cannot access it while you are away. This sort of functionality comes in handy if you don’t want your sibling, spouse, co-worker, or roommate to access the PC while you go and get a cup of coffee, for example.

To install Secure My Screen on your PC, you will need to download a 2.9MB executable and run it. The application can be installed easily and rapidly on any Windows edition from Windows 2000 onward. So if your PC is powered by anything newer than Windows 2000, you will be able to easily install Secure My Screen on your machine.

Secure My Screen’s interface is incredibly uncomplicated. There are but 5 buttons on it: Lock Computer (puts the computer on lockdown), Edit Account Details (edit the information you provided when setting up an account), Check for Updates, Contact Us, Logout, and Exit. If you don’t like how the buttons are arranged on the interface, enable Move Mode and swap them around.

To start using Secure My Screen, you will have to create an account first. With that account info, you can then log into the Secure My Screen application; and once Secure My Screen is up and running, you can easily lock your computer. You can do that by hitting the Lock Computer button on the application’s interface, or by using a hotkey (the default is Alt + L; you can change it to something else if you want to). You can also set it up so your PC will be locked automatically after a period of inactivity.

To unlock a PC, you need only provide the correct password. Since you’re the only one who knows the password, you’re the only one who can unlock the PC. Simple, right?

Easily lock your computer and prevent others from using it with the simple Secure My Screen application.

Pros

The application comes with a very simple interface. You can change the position of the buttons on the interface if you want to. Manually lock the PC or set it up so it will be locked automatically after a period of inactivity. Choose the color of the background for the lock screen.

Cons

The trial is limited to 5 uses.
