Just for the record I've found another way to solve the problem, on my laptop I've got some kind of Dell thingie installed by default and by using that program (which I found when pressing Windows Key+X) I could add custom fn+any letter shortcut, and it did support .bat extensions Now I'm thinking about adding so it not only just shutdowns explorer.exe but also removes the cursor, any ideas?

Thanks for the help I will use that as a plan B

I don't like having password because when I start the computer it will stop at the login screen, but I do only got one user so when I don't have any password it will automatically login and this is good if I'm for example away on the toilet. And I don't really got any data on my school laptop that I am afraid to lose because I do you windows mesh for my documents and steam for my games. So I like this method more than password (maybe just because I kinda found it myself whilst playing around..) Haha this is a kinda long reply for which may be a bit unnecessary but english ain't my native language so I'm not perfect at it, but exactly how would you write the c++ line, my knowledge in c++ is a bit below basic

I've looked for a way to lock my computer, although I don't want any password for my user Shutting down the task explorer.exe does give me the effect I want because the computer is kinda hard to use. So I've created a batch file with "taskkill /f /im explorer.exe", and here comes the tricky part, you can't create a keyboard shortcut to a batch file. So I've created a shortcut to the batch file and added a keyboard shortcut to the shortcut, still with me? Pressing my custom keyboard shortcut "ctrl+Alt+L" worked one time and then it didn't work :| As it turns out you can only create keyboard shortcuts for .exe files. Somebody got an Idea how to solve the problem (in short terms shutting down the explorer.exe task with a keyboard shortcut without needing to download a program)? I do got codeblocks so writing a short c++ program might work? Althought don't know how.. Help appreciated

Thanks for the help! I didn't find the docks but I still appreciate the help
