Hi,
You can lock the computer by calling the LockWorkstation() function in user32.dll rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation, but why not just enable auto lock?

Hi thanks for reply,
it is not just for auto lock, it is to protect the machine in our absence, for example I go to speak on the phone I leave my session open, and if someone approaches or touch keyboard or move mouse it will lock, I will know after which moment and who pressed which key.
It also avoids re-entering the password on our return, because it is enough to unlock the machine with a single secret key

this is a fun new method, for people who forget to lock their session, or don't want to do so because they find it takes a long time to retype a password
