Have a Windows server that you need to autolock at startup?

Locking your Windows session is important to help prevent hackers from hijacking your session. When rebooting, if you have a server account that requires logging onto in order to auto launch a 3rd party application, you'll want to add this to your startup apps.

In Windows XP:

Right click your START button, Select Explore, and navigate to Programs, then Startup

Right click the window pane, Select "New", then "Go to Shortcut". Type %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation and give it a name that you want.
