"this computer has been locked by" I have one computer that is in a shared
area and people keep walking away from it without logging out. The result is
that it locks them out.

How can I change this feature on this one computer. It's in a windows2000
domain, I am the admin. I want to change the policy on this computer only.

I have changed policies for all, but not just one.
thanks

What many do for such shared computers is to use the logoff screen saver
set to a low time threshold. Then, instead of the machine auto-locking it
logs off. That screen saver, IIRC, is from the resource kit.
To apply a different policy to one machine, either you need a GPO that
targets that one machine (by OU isolation or security group filtering), or
you need to have no GPO setting that policy so that local security policy
could be used.
