LidLock looks to do what you're wanting but I can't find a working download for it http://sumtips.com/2012/10/automatically-lock-windows-computer-on-closing-laptop-lid.html Found a download here for a different version that seems to just sit in the system tray area waiting for you to close the lid, only tested in vmware so not sure if it works http://download.cnet.com/Lid-Lock/3000-2094_4-76464070.html If I find a link to LidLock I'll post it here
Such app - either GUI or system service - can be written. I came across examples of code. Update: There might be even easier way. Task scheduler offers triggers on any event (in any event log). So if closing the lid or turning display OFF are accompanied by events in any event log, you can schedule following command Code: rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation Update: Or I can build this app https://github.com/dechamps/laplock/
