Secure your desktop with a password

ScreenBlur will offer you the possibility to safely secure your desktop with a selected password.

ScreenBlur will ask you to set a password. Right click the program icon in system tray to change the password, lock your screen, and options:

* Auto Lock: Locks the screen when user does not use the mouse and keyboard for a while.
* Auto Start: The program starts with windows, and is ready to lock the screen.

You can also lock the screen with a left click on its tray icon, or after you set or change the password.

Lock from keyboard: Press and release the left Ctrl key twice.

If you forgot your password, restart the system and remove the Data folder from the applications directory. The program will then ask for a new password.

To normally shut down the system when screen is locked, use ScreenBlur's shut down button.

When the screen is locked, type your password directly, to unlock it.
