Take care 18. feb. 2014 kl. 08:23 skrev Frank Ventura <frank.vent...@littlebreezes.com>: Tim, thanks, that is exactally what I needed to know. Frank From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tim Kilburn Sent: Monday, February 17, 2014 11:42 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Locking a Mac Hi Frank, Two ways you can deal with this. First, in the Security & Privacy pane in System Prefs, make sure that the checkbox for requiring a password after Sleep or Screensaver is checked. This behaviour is normally on by default in Mountain Lion and Mavericks but if, for some reason, it is not, then checking this box will make it so that your computer locks itself after a few minutes and consequently requires a password to get back in. All running apps remain active. The second method is accomplished by turning on Fast User Switching in the Users & Groups pane of System Prefs. Interact with the Users, Groups and Login Options list, navigate down to the Login Options item, Stop Interacting with the list, then navigate to the checkbox for "Show Fast User Switching as", and check that box. This will place another menu in the Menu Extras area whereby you can either quickly switch to another user or choose Login Screen to lock up your machine. You may also like to note that when using OS X Server, the Server app and many other functions remain running even when you log off. HTH. Later...

With the Mac running, how can I lock the screen, as to require a PW to unlock, without quitting the running programs? I need to secure the Mac but keep the running apps going.
