So this is the STANDARD edition of the program, the PREMIUM features are listed on this page:
https://greatis.com/desktopsecretlock/premium.htm

Since both work via password afterall, the question is why you would install a third-party program instead of using Windows own built-in feature to accomplish the same.

I installed todays offer and tried it out, does what it claims in short but since Windows has it's own feature for it (and nobody knows my Windows password), i don't see why i would use a third-party program to lock the screen. It's only three clicks away for me in Windows 8 itself. Maybe i have use for it in the future.

But thanks for the offer to Greatis and GOTD.

Lea, yeah and if someone wants access to the data on the hard drive, a locked Desktop won't help much to avoid that. So i don't see the point here.

Desktop Secret Lock is a neat utility that offers strong protection against local threats and it provides tools which can make it almost un-breakable. Due to its ease-of-use, the software can be safely operated by both skilled and non-technical users.

Desktop Secret Lock has an option of "Saving key file to USB flash stick". This feature is extremely useful if you forgot your password. Just insert your flash stick into USB port of your PC and it will be unlocked.

If you are looking for a tool that can lock your computer to save your private data from threats and protect Windows from un-authorized access against threats, Desktop Secret Lock is the only choice for you.

"is the only choice for you" tells a lot about the writer of this comment and his indepentence and his neutral point of view

Went to check out the link given to look at the "forums". First there is a captcha to just look at the web page. I don't believe you should have to jump through hoops just to read a forum....to post, yeah, but to read them strikes me as overkill.

The link takes you to the advertising/info for the program, not to a forum. Then I see this "You must use your real IP address to enter the giveaway (Not a VPN or proxy)." Sorry but a lot of us use VPNs for security and I have never run into a problem using mine to acquire any type of program, paid or free from any site. If I change servers I might have to confirm my ID with an email response for sites such as discord etc., but have never been refused entry because of my VPN. So even if this was useful for me I would not buy it from this developer. JMHO.

How long is this licence good for? 3 months? 6 months? A year? At what point do I have to pay to keep using this software? I don't want to end up with a locked desktop that won't open unless I lay down the money to get a licence to use it.
