| 484988 | 2006-09-15 13:17:00 | Hi All Got a problem with my 15 year old getting onto the computer all the time. I know I should just rant and rave and tell the not so little bugger to get off my computer but i am sick of naggin and of changing passwords to stop him accessing only to find that he has somehow bypassed my admin password control and is cheerfully playing away on the darnn thing..can someone give me a foolproof method so i dont have this problem.:mad: |

Also check wat the logon screen saver is set to in the registery. |

| 484994 | 2006-09-16 06:37:00 | Hahaha what is he doing on it that you don't want him to? Probably downloading spyware that generates the sort of popups you don't want showing up in polite company. |

| 484997 | 2006-09-16 13:48:00 | Thanks all but i think i fixed the problem,i just use the old standard logon window instead of the XP one, it gives just one user and not two.It seems to have worked as he was on my laptop in the lounge when i got home today,trouble is now i get to hear is duff duff music,just cant win eh! To answer the 15 year olds post.He has a lot of important exams this year and it is hard to get him to study if he spends all his time playing Injustice games.Besides its MY computer and it would be nice if he asked and didnt just assume it was his.What about watching a bit of telly with us or reading a book,shock horror! |
