Like, right at the back of the keyboard near the screen, just a key that you press when you leave your workstation that deactivates all keys and the touchpad, so little fingers don't mess around with your work. My work laptop, Acer Aspire E 14 doesn't have this, but I feel like I have seen this sort of thing before. |

Computers DO have lock keys. |

Not all of them do. Mine doesn't, for example. I know they have Num, Caps, and Scroll Locks but that isn't what I meant. |

Ctrl Alt Del doesn't bring up lock options. And it's not in that menu as you say. |

The easiest way would be I'd say, to check these settings: Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\System Settings And choose "When I press the power button, computer goes to sleep". |

No, that can be inactive too. All I want is a parental lock button, like, near the power button for example. And it has to be pressed for, say, 3 seconds to unlock/lock the computer. |

Alright, so this should solve your problem then, I just only found about this now too. Use "Windows" key + L. http://www.dummies.com/computers/pcs/how-to-lock-your-pc/ |
