Windows login can protect your workstation when your away but this is not a guarantee that it wouldn't be open by other users who have an access to that computer. For added security layer, use a portable application called WinLockr which can lock and unlock windows using USB device as a key. The USB device should be first configured by WinLockr. Start WinLockr and provide a password. Then plug your USB and and choose Install on USB. When USB is plugged, the mouse and keyboard will be disabled and the screen will be locked.
To unlock your workstation, you have to provide the exact password combination. WinLockr also prevents shutdown, restart, or log off actions when it is enabled. Overall, In my opinion, WinLockr is a great tool to add extra security for your Windows PC. With it enabled, no one but you could unlock your workstation even they know the Windows login password of your computer.
WinLockr works with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. I tested it on Windows 7 x86 version.
