Same here. I've tested the shortcut on just about every NT based system, it
works as advertised.

Greetings --
    The steps I've listed (WinKey+L or the shortcut) work perfectly on
every WinXP Home and Pro machine I've used, with the Welcome Screen
and FSU enabled.  Exactly what results do you get?  Locking the
workstation should return you to the Welcome Screen, showing the
current user already logged in.
