| 1119583 | 2010-07-16 23:15:00 | Hi, I need some help/advise. My son is 4 and has his own computer. Its the second time he messes up his computer, just by clicking around on things. Is there a program that would restrict him from accessing windows components? Normally I put all his games that I install an icon shortcut to the desktop and internet pages on the desktop as well, but he still clicks on other things and this will mess up everything?! I hope you know what I mean. I have been googling but cant find anything appropriate. Any ideas?? |

| 1119584 | 2010-07-16 23:17:00 | Is it Home or Pro? Should add him as a guest / limited user. Hide everything on the desktop | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1119587 | 2010-07-17 00:28:00 | I have added him as a guest before but still he manages getting into the windows components | mark1978 (13845) | ||
| 1119588 | 2010-07-17 00:33:00 | Try steadystate then | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1119589 | 2010-07-17 00:37:00 | Steadystate, or use a virtual machine with a snapshot to restore to, when the inevitable happens. en.onsoftware.com Or create a system image with something like Acronis True Image. www.acronis.com Steadystate looks simpler to use though. en.wikipedia.org |

| 1119591 | 2010-07-17 01:01:00 | Steady State is good for a home user. There is an even better one but its more for schools, Office workstations etc. Its called Deep Freeze. Doesn't matter WHAT changes you do on the PC , it will automatically put the PC back to original on reboot. Only problem is it will also delete all created data/ Emails etc - hence good for schools/ Office that run the PC's from a server where the data is not allowed to be stored locally. |
