What I meant was - it is mandatory that they lock their workstations (for privacy one assumes), hence that is not the problem at hand.
Right, but you can log off too, its a short term fix to a ctrl/alt/delete problem that he is having. I just wanted to know if its mandatory to lock it and not just log off.
Also, there is no expectation of privacy on work related computers. Yes, but logging on/off takes a lot lot longer than locking, but there is no need for this conversation to continue - surely he has given that the computer must be locked, hence this is not part of the problem, but a given.
Im simply offering a short term solution to an issue that he is having until he can correctly solve the issue. I find that not being able to follow company procedure is far more damaging than taking an extra 10 seconds to make sure he is not fired for violating the "locked" policy. Its not that he cannot follow company procedure,
But rather an annoyance, if I understand it correctly.
Yes, true. If I understand correctly he is one button click away from possibly accidentally deleting a lot of data from the drawing. I took that as a main concern. I'll quote it again for you if you like:
Relax, Im trying to help. Your just bickering with me. Hows that for an end to this discussion?
True, I am - but I just couldn't see the point of your initial comment as to why he would want to lock the screen. But you are correct, its a pointless discussion.
Im sorry if you took my question to the original poster the wrong way. I felt that others had given ideas that didnt pan out and it was enough of a problem to post with a very good reason, not being able to lock the computer. I was merely asking about the company policy and how pertinent it was to do so.
I think masking the problem with a simple cancel only can lead to an accidental deletion or unbounded hatch that may freeze the computer losing work.
I hope that clarifies why I asked what could seem to be a useless mundane question.
