TouchLocker locks

TouchLocker tool will help you to lock your computer to protect data or avoid prying eyes with just a double click. More handy, TouchLocker also has the ability to lock automatically.

After successful activation, TouchLocker will display its activity icon in the watch tray as a key and lock. Just double click on this icon and everything on the screen will be locked in place, the mouse and keyboard will be completely paralyzed.

But do not rush to use TouchLocker immediately without understanding it. You can left-click once on the icon to log in to the main menu or right-click and select ' Opition '.

TouchLocker uses the default hotkey combination of ' Ctrl + E ' to unlock. You can set yourself a secret key combination by setting the key combination in the ' Unlock Computer ' box on the ' General ' tab. If you do not like to use the hotkey, you should go to the ' Password ' tab to select a special password to unlock and remember to check the ' Disable Unlock Hotkey ' box to disable the unlocking feature with the hotkey.

To tweak TouchLocker, you should log in to the ' Options ' tab to make interesting tweaks that few tools have, such as: Lock Keyboard ; Lock Mouse Buttons (lock mouse button); Lock Mouse Wheel (lock mouse's slider button); Lock Mouse Movements (lock the mouse one place); Disable Screen Saver (lock screen saver); Wait (set time to automatically activate TouchLocker, default is 120 seconds) .

Please check the ' Minimize Windows when locking ' box so that TouchLocker automatically minimizes all active windows to avoid prying eyes. After you've done all the tweaks, click on the Save button to save everything and then you can click on the ' Lock Now ' button to try TouchLocker's lockout.
