Is there a way that I can make that part of the computer password protected? Hopefully some one can tell me how that is done. Thank you.	Roscoe (6288)

If its W7 home then you need to do reg hacks, if its a pro version you can do it Via gpedit (Group Policy Editor) Some info : www.howtogeek.com if its 8.1 - so pre configured reg hacks, and Group Policy Editor instructions as well: www.eightforums.com Keep in mind it will block you as well. The pro and higher versions are designed to allow different options, the general home user versions are not. The better way if you dont want a complete lock out, is to create a separate account for others, and restrict access that way.	wainuitech (129)
