Using Quick Controls
If you have established a power-on password, you can enable
QuickLock, then QuickBlank and QuickLock on Suspend.
QuickLock
disables the pointing device at power-on until the
power-on password is entered. It allows the keyboard to be used
only to enter the power-on password.
QuickBlank
blanks the screen while the keyboard and pointing
device are disabled by QuickLock.
QuickLock on Suspend
initiates QuickLock and, if it is enabled,
QuickBlank, when the computer enters Suspend.
You can enable Quick Controls by checking them in the dialog
