Windows + L for a quick exit

A reminder for all of the importance of locking any staff pod PC whenever you walk away from it.... These PCs are now easily accessible in the public space so it's super important to make sure you lock it so that only authorised staff with the passwords can log back in, and access the wealth of super private info located in the 1LMS and on our network drives.

Once this becomes a habit, it will take only a second and you'll do it on auto pilot. But how, you ask? For those who aren't already embracers of it, the trick is a simple dual keystroke: Windows + L.

This just means pressing the Windows key...you know the one either side of the space bar and and Alt keys? 

At the same time as the L key, like so...

It's quick, it's simple and it's secure!

Taking a leaf from Cortesse's book, maybe you can use a little mind trick to remember it such as:
  • L for lock
  • W + L = Windows Lock
  • W + L = Will Leave
  • W + L = Walk and Lock
