Is there a way to configure Windows such that I can lock it on pressing certain shortcut, say ctrl+shift+ L and unlock with same key combination, without having to type in the password?

I am reluctant to type in password each time I need to unlock it. I know this does not look safe enough but I am willing to take the risk.

Do you have a password on your Windows user account? – bfhd Aug 24 '11 at 5:00

You’ll probably need third-party software to do that. – Synetech Aug 24 '11 at 5:24

There are a number of programs that will capture all keyboard and mouse inputs until a particular key sequence is pressed. They're usually marketed as anti-kid or anti-cat apps (e.g. to prevent a toddler or cat from causing problems by random keypresses.)
