Hi everyone, I`m trying to add my 9 yr. old son on my computer with his own password and settings. Problem is, when you boot, it gives an option to log on as him or me, and if you play along with this little game it works fine.....BUT, if you hit cancel. it bypasses all that **** and boots anyway.
Is there any program I can use that will lock this pc, and can access it with 2 different passcodes for 2 different users?

p.s. (he dont know this yet. or does he?)

You ARE NOT going to stop a determined, intelligent 9 yr old!

My kids are now 14 and 16. Only way I found to keep my computer MINE was to get them their own, plus I use removeable HD racks! Lock my HD in the file cabinet, that works. Mostly.

I would assume you are using win9x, one thought might be to use winNT (or win2k when it come out). Yes it would be more expensive than a download, but it would definally work. It has a lot of custom sercuity features.
