CTRL+ALT+DELETE is not to lock your PC. In Windows (98->XP) CTRL+ALT+DELETE is to open the Task Manager, where you could kill or stop applications and/or processes.

To lock your computer you have to define a passwords for each account or disable the other accounts (as an Administrator).

Also you could use a password protected screen saver.

Open User Accounts in Control Panel
Click the Advanced Tab
Check the Box "Require users to press CTRL+ALT+Delete"
Click OK

Alternatively you can type WINKEY+L to lock the computer.
