It would appear that it is annoying you if it is yours.

Has each user got a profile?

The easiest way would be to create multiple accounts with passwords. Use them and make sure you and your parents log out.

If you have pemission from your parents who are annoyed.

Just found STEADY STATE (www.microsoft.com). Seems Microsoft has you covered. It's a free download.

Get it before your brother does!!

854379 2010-02-01 19:22:00 Steady state does not appear to be supported for 64 bit versions of Windows. Nor is Win 7 mentioned. Sweep (90)
854380 2010-02-01 19:29:00 You can try this here (techrepublic.com.com) - its for XP but may work in Vista - just make a restore point first if you try it. wainuitech (129)
