I want to setup a magic word in SlickRun to lock my computer like Win+L would do. Can someone please help me out with this request?

You can't have SlickRun use a keyboard shortcut. MagicWords have to be assigned to programs, URLs, or shortcuts. So, it doesn't seem all that intuitive at first. However, with that said...

First, you create a shortcut to lock the workstation.

  1. Right click anywhere on your desktop, and click/tap on New and Shortcut.

  2. Type rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation and click/tap on Next.

  3. Type Lock Computer for the name, and click/tap on Finish.

(from sevenforums.com)

Now that you have a shortcut to it, you can use the Slickrun setup. You go into the Setup, and then into the Magicword Editor. You create a new MagicWord, and have it run the shortcut you just created.
