It's that list from Microsoft isn't it. Did you try them all before putting them on the main page?. Some of them don't seem to work.

Does this one work for you: NUM LOCK+Asterisk sign (*)
Doesn't do anything on mine. Another one that doesn't seem to work is: Windows Logo + L

Cache, I already had a list but did compare that with MS and put in some from their list (under Miscellaneous).   Yes that command works fine.  You have to be in Windows Explorer with the double pane window.

Yes, but when do you mean by "works fine"? it works fine for me, if I wanted to log off. But it (windows+L) should lock the keyboard, not log you off.

So your saying it doesn't log you off? it locks your keyboard?

I'll not ask again after this time lol. This is just to make sure.

Right, looks like it just read it wrong then or something lol. I thought it should lock the keyboard.

I'll find out why I thought that and post back.

OK, this is why I thought it should lock the keyboard:

Because thats what Microsoft say lol. Check "Windows Logo+ L" in the folloing link:
