Description
-----------

Password Protected LockUp is an excellent system-tray utility you can use to
restrict access to your PC. It's attractive, secure, and very easy to use.
It starts automatically with Windows and optionally locks your desktop upon
loading. It hides your desktop at the same time and provides a scrolling
message that you can edit as you like. You can have the program power down
your monitor after a selected period of "lock-up" time and even set start/stop
times for other users to limit their access to your PC. Optionally, it can show
LockUp Screen or launch Windows Screen Saver. Also it has special Screen Saver.
Besides, it has the network client validation feature for Windows logon.
