| 132084 | 2003-03-30 02:20:00 | I am after a software program to lock out people from my PC. The program will have to be able to stop people bypassing the security via Safe Mode / CTRL + Alt + Delete / ALT + TAB, Task Manager, etc, etc. I would prefer that the program was Free and not overly complicated but still have strong stopping power (so to speak). What do you reccommend that I should use please. Thanks PF1 :-) |

| 132087 | 2003-03-30 02:56:00 | What do you mean by "lock" the best form of lock is to have no access to the computer via way of a phoneline or ethernet cable. Then also lock the actual room/building that the computer is in. Also what OS are you using? I find that locking the computer in XP or 2k or similar is fine. Though everything can be got around if the will is there to do so. |

| 132090 | 2003-03-30 04:21:00 | I'm using XP but it will also have to work on Windows ME as well. By 'lock' I meant to restrict access to the operating system and hence the files on the computer. Thanks for you help so far. Regards PF1 :-) | PressF1 User (1065) | ||
| 132091 | 2003-03-30 04:37:00 | You can password protect your system by using a screensaver, have a look at the help and support system on your computer, search for 'password protect' this works in XP and I'm pretty sure ME as well Cheers, Robby |
