I don't know of any DOS or Windows product, but Windows NT
has this built in.  I can lock my workstation in its current
state with a password until I return and enter my password again.
Best of all, it will continue to do any processing that was begun
before the station was locked.

NT is soooo cool !

Also, for what it's worth, I've taken my system to many of my clients
offices and no one has ever touched it without my permission.
What kind of clients do you have ?
