Create a limited account for your son. If he later cracks your password, which is very simple with the right software, take the laptop completely.http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/winxp/accounts.mspx I don't vote for myself I'm not here for the points.

Tell your son that he needs to follow them, and if youdoesn't, you will take away his laptop. Then, if he doesn't do whatyou tell him, take away the laptop.Ken Blake (MS MVP)
