Winners to be announced by end of July !!

The proposed $100 machine will be a Linux-based, with a dual-mode display—both a full-color, transmissive DVD mode, and a second display option that is black and white reflective and sunlight-readable at 3× the resolution. The laptop will have a 500MHz processor and 128MB of DRAM, with 500MB of Flash memory; it will not have a hard disk, but it will have four USB ports. The laptops will have wireless broadband that, among other things, allows them to work as a mesh network; each laptop will be able to talk to its nearest neighbors, creating an ad hoc, local area network. The laptops will use innovative power (including wind-up) and will be able to do most everything except store huge amounts of data.

Step 2:  In the Create Shortcut dialog box, type the following into the
location of the item text box: "rundll32 user32.dll, LockWorkStation" // remove quotes while typing

Step 3: Click Next.

Step 4: In the Select a Title for the Program dialog box,!
type "Lock Desktop" (of course, you can name it as per your choice…!)In the Type a name forthis shortcut text box. Click Finish.

Step 5: Drag "Lock Desktop" icon and include into windows taskbar for your convenience.
