Setting Passwords for preventing Internet access
Take the power cord and lock it away before she gets to the house.
Although there are different ways to accomplish this, there is always a possibility that someone with some computer savvy can bypass them. One way is to set a password in the bios if the option is available. Anyone that knows how to get into the BIOS and is familiar with them can easily remove the password unless the BIOS is password protected as well. Another way to set a password is suggested he http://registry.winguides.com/display.php?629 MVP Doug Knox has a way on his site as well: http://www.dougknox.com/ Click on Security Prevent Unauthorized Users from accessing your computer. Read the instructions fully, it is possible to lock yourself out of your own computer. -- Brian A. Jack of all trades, Master of none.
