Most of us will keep very important and secret information and other stuff on desktop and on other drives which cannot be protected strictly and we will feel uncomfortable to leave it idle and go for other works. So for safety we usually log off and put a password or we use any windows screen saver and select the option : on resume password protect. But still we want the system to be running in normal condition and must be do all the works assigned to it.
There is a way for doing so. The best way to protect your computer screen with awesome look and strong security is to use Matrix Screen Locker.

or
start-button → right-arrow (to the right of the search-window) → 3rd alternativ is "Lock".... then there will be no security if there is no password so why dont we use more attractive application which is good to see and good to protect
