Need a program to lock out comp

[Sputty]

I need something to totally password the computer, so it can't do anything, and it needs to run on startup so it can't be circumvented by restarted
Thanks for any help.

[SDM]

Why can't you just set the password in BIOS?

[Sputty]

Because that would be annoying.

[SDM]

Take the monitor with you when you leave.

[Dharkbayne]

password your login, and hit windows key + L whenever you leave.

If they restart it, they hit the login prompt, and if they don't, they're still there.

And it doesn't log you out, so programs still stay running, it just makes it so you have to enter a p/w to resume.

I hit it every time I'm not at the PC.

i do that too. and i made a sperate account for my mom so she could use my computer, without fucking up what i was doing, and lemme tell you, she is very good at fucking up my computer.

[firecrackerNC]

Why? Need to make sure no one finds your porn collection?

[Derfud]

yes, right on the nose firecracker.

That's the only reason anyone needs to lock out their comp.

[DaShiznit]

I don't lock my comp. Instead, I kill my history, delete my cookies and wipe out my temporary internet files. Find the porn now!!!

Not really. I had to reformat because my younger brother was looking at pron on my comp, bought a new chair too. *shudders*

The last bit is very important. Do not think your parents are computer dumb. Even if they are, they'll still happen across it.

[Rbstr]

or better yet get your own computer and password the login, then lock it whenever our not using it

[ZeusCali]

your forgot if your looking at porn files too...
-start->settings->taskbar & Start menu->Advanced->
(to remove records of recent accessed documents, programs, and Web sites, click Clear) Clear
That gets rid of the annoying start-> documents. that always tells what you have opened recently.
Oh and watch out everytime you watch something on i windowsmediaplayer,quicktime, or realtime player(i forgot which) it copies the movie to a folder on your computer (C:\My Music) even if it is online if Real Time Player opens it, it makes a copy!!! Watch out have to manually delete it.

also clear the open recent menus for any program you look at "stuff" with. if you cant just open alot of "clean" stuff after your down, to cover your recent tracks.

Also dont put your "stash" in a folder on the desktop. Do what i do/did make a maze of folders. put your real folder at least 9 folders in.
i Recommend 9 folders(with 9 inside each and so on) to simulate a 9 digit code.

lets see what else....

Oh ya Always have a "clean"site open in the background! You can switch to it if someone walks in. You cannot count on a window closeing but you can count on a window overlaping, therefore hiding the others. Trust me it works. I have been 10seconds away from being count because i tried to close a window and it nearly froze my computer with how slow it was going.
Note i have only been caught 1 time on the net, 1 time in real life(aka magazines my dad had a huge stash of playboys.) the one time on the net though they only saw the site for 3 seconds before my backup poped in. Which leads me to my next advice.

make sure your backup clean site has similar colors to your "dirty"side as if they saw your window they would not notice the difference.

Also if you have to leave your sites open for any reason open all of them to your homepage. then just press the back buttons when you get back.

And yes i am a recovering porn attic although i like to think i wasn't that serious about it, my stash never was higher then 900mb and i have converted it into an "�'m going to sketch this soon i swear" and a "dam shes hot" group no longer the erotic wanker stuff.


I doubt many of you read all that. But for those of you that did i hope they help increse security.

[Sputty]

It's not about porn
It's about annoying people using and fucking up my comp

[ZeusCali]

ah ok then what i said wouldn't help you.... but you could rig your computer to shock anyone that touched metal.. just run your computer plug threw a 2 prong(no ground wire) converter and attach it up to the wall! .... my dam sister has that, not purposely of course, she's just to lazy to rig a grounding system

[Strygun]

if they're smart, all they'd have to do is restart into safemode and delete it from the run registry folder. You'll have to get REAL creative.

(You could always set a startup BIOS password.)

so fucking easy to get around. me and corr get into eachothers comps around this every time we come over.

restart in safe mode, log onto administrator, go to user settings, delete the other user's password, restart and ta-dah its unlocked!

[TheN00b]

Or just be like me, and just don't look at pr0n. Problem solved!

[Phaden]

But the BIOS PW can be reset by pulling out the little battery from the Mobo, right?? So technically you still need something else. imm pretty sure im right here.



||Edit|| But not many people know about this i think

[TheN00b]

Neg. I'm just not a fan of that stuff. I mean, I'm no religious nut; I just think it's a bit demeaning.

:rolleyes: riiiight.

you know, we're all pretty secure with our porn obsessions here, no need to cover it up with some stupid thing Ive been hearing about called "morals."

Cover it up? Please don't insult me again. Like I said, I'm not some anti-porn crusader or fanatic: I just don't like it. I've even been asked if people can show me it, and refused; it's just not something I'm a fan of. But enough of this hijacking.

thats always an option i suppose, but a bit expensive.

[EarlyDawn]

Plus, what happens if you lose it?

[Dharkbayne]

Jesus, you guys, he's not trying to protect himself from some l33t super hax0r like Electrofreak, who will totally steal yu0r megahurtz, I'm pretty sure it's just family members or something. I'm sure windows + L will work fine.

Give it a try, we use it at work. First 30 days are free and then you pay something like 30.00 U.S. or so. Easy to use and it starts at set up.

QFT, for Godssake. He's not looking for a high-security vault.

[Sputty]

Also, it's not about porn
It's about the principle of people using my computer and changing settings
THEY SHOULDN'T FUCKING CHANGE ANYTHING
I HOPE SHE DIES BY KITTEN ATTACK

[Phaden]

Ok, then do a BIOS PW if you want it tizzight against the fam fam. Or the windows PW thingy if its not quite that sensitive. Just make sure the adults know your gonna do it, as they tend to get very very angry if you PW something they think is their's. Just a warning.

[Hezzy]

Set their window accounts to limited ones. That way they can't change anything.
