| 212545 | 2004-02-04 20:54:00 | I agree with Billy and Parry's words of wisdom . ;-) Without wishing to appear sexist in my experience not that many girls are interested in fiddling around with computers, they would rather just get on with their MSN chatting, playing games or what have you rather than poking around deleting files, etc . Whilst I can understand your concern regarding files being deleted I fail to see what is wrong with launching programs . If you are that concerned about her getting into a pickle you can always sit with her for a couple of sessions to provide guidance in whatever program she is interested in . Regarding files, keep yours in your own folder and make it clear that she is not to touch them . She could have her own folder for her files to do whatever she liked with them . To be on the safe side back your folder up to a CD just in case . . . . Try and encourage your sister's interest - if she is keen she will learn quickly and you will feel more confident about trusting her . As a bonus you will cultivate a brotherly bond with her that will last you a lifetime . ;-) |

| 212546 | 2004-02-05 03:51:00 | you've convinced me... i wont try ro remove the start button however i would like to hide essential system folders in her account. also should i hide the start menu for the guest account? and give access to games, musicmatch jukebox, connection to clear (we have flat rate) and internet? nothing else. no access to net nanny (to change settings), my computer or network neighbourhood. and maybe an icon to the cdrom drive. is this a good idea? MM PS. i'm planning on putting windows 98 on the old linux box and give it to my sister for her to play around with ;) |

| 212548 | 2004-02-05 08:52:00 | As you`re more interested in locking her out rather than helping her out, why not show her how to become a member of PF1, I`m quite sure the members here would gladly and willingly help her out, as they help you and me out when asked. Just a suggestion. Cheers, DD. |
