Using Quick Controls
Quick Controls establish security measures on your computer
when it is on but not in use.
■ QuickLock disables your keyboard and pointing device while
the computer is running. It leaves your information on the
screen but prevents it from being accessed until a power-on
password is entered to enable the keyboard.
■ QuickBlank, used in conjunction with QuickLock, clears the
screen when the keyboard and pointing device are disabled.
