Got a couple of freebie flash drives with capacity too small for anything useful? Rohos suggests you put them to good use by transforming them into a USB lock key. The $25 software (60 day trial available) in a nut shell replaces traditional password-based Windows login/access with a thumbdrive. Or if you prefer to add another layer of authentication, you can keep using your existing PIN code. Upon insertion, the USB key can unlock a Windows 2000/03/XP and even Vista PC that belongs to Windows logon, Active Directory or Novell Netware configuration. Removing the key will put Windows back to login screen. Another nice touch is Rohos' ability to track daily and weekly work login hours. Last but not all is a much needed copy protection in case someone tries to duplicate your key.
