ctrl-alt-del



Never knew this could do lot of things. I really mean it when Ii say lot of things. People in the Indian software industry use this most of the time and I can say that its difficult for them to live without using this key combimation. Be it locking the system before going out, to restarting it when the system hangs up, ctrl-alt del is the mantra. But i feel the best use of it is done when the system is actually locked.

With the swelling crowds of employees in the IT industry, it has now become very common that you come across many new people in your office. And the good news is that the average age ranges some where between 25 to 30, with the age of those joining the organisation still less.
It is very much possible that you go to the office one fine morning and finding a very cute cubicle mate :). Hmm but what if she sits right in the other corner of your floor. You want to talk to her, but feel it would be better to know something about her before talking to her. Just wait for her to leave the office, go to her seat and a simply moving the mouse will do that magic. You will see a window saying "This computer is in use and has been locked. Only 'Cute Gal' or an administrator can unlock this computer"(Check the screen shot i have posted here). Just forget the administrator and you have the gal's name. With the office maintaining a good database of the employees, its not tough to get other details.
But a word of caution. Be sure she logs in with her name only. For people who want more details regarding how to find if she logs in with her name only.... pls mail me
