• PC User's Tip
  

This week for your PC user's tip, I want to tell you how to lock your XP workstation with a simple two key command. Just click on Windows key + L.

For the more adventurous, here is how to create a desktop shortcut that will lock your workstation when you double click on it.  Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click, and enter 'rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation' in the location field. Give the shortcut a name you like. That's it -- just double click on it and your computer will be locked.


• Mac User's Tip
  
  For the Mac user's tip this week, I want to tell you how to store your keychain on a USB drive.  If you like the convenience that Apple's Keychain scheme provides, but want to add a little more security to the mix, get a USB flash drive and store your keychain on it. That way, your keychain will only be accessible when you physically insert the drive into the USB port.
  
  To move an existing keychain to a flash drive, insert the drive and then navigate to your username/Library/Keychains. Locate the keychain you want to move and then just drag it onto the flash drive. Then, delete the original from the Keychains folder.
  
  To enable the newly copied keychain, open Keychain Access, which you can find in the Applications/Utilities folder, and choose File > Add Keychain. Then, navigate to the keychain on your flash drive and click Open. From this point on, whenever an application requests a password stored in the keychain, you'll need to have the USB flash drive inserted or the automatic password entry won't work.
