found it...cheers..here is the way..:

o create a shortcut on your desktop to lock your computer:

1. Right-click the desktop.

2. Point to New, and then click Shortcut.

3. The Create Shortcut Wizard opens. In the text box, type the following:
rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

4. Click Next.

5. Enter a name for the shortcut. You can call it "Lock Workstation" or choose any name you like.

6. Click Finish

hope this helps..

Erm why would you want to create a shortcut? On a WXP machine just press the Windows Key and the L key together!
