Quick Controls establish security measures on your computer
when it is on but not in use.

the computer is running. It leaves your information on the
screen but prevents it from being accessed until a power-on
password is entered to enable the keyboard.
■ QuickBlank, used in conjunction with QuickLock, clears the
screen when the keyboard and pointing device are disabled.
■ QuickLock on Standby (Suspend) automatically disables the
keyboard and pointing device when the computer enters
Suspend. It prevents your information from being accessed
until a power-on password is entered. Entering the password
allows the computer to exit Suspend and enables the keyboard
and pointing device.
