Creative Way to Keep Sister off of my Computer

GOD FORBID SHE GO EVEN A DAY WITHOUT CHECKING IT.

Can you go a small moment in time without your computer? Just let her use it.

So what, people screw up sometimes and get a virus on a computer. It's not the end of the world. Odds are she won't make the same mistake twice.

This is perfect. My computer BSODs enough that this is a valid screen. Can you set a screensaver to only unlock with a certain key?

You can, in theory, make a personal screensaver: They're just exes. (At least they were in XP)

Yes, I can. I usually watch TV when I go to my Dad's. It's not until day 3 or 4 that I start having music withdraws. This is the second or third time she's gotten a virus on her computer: and she blames it on the computer. I don't want her touching my stuff. See: Marston's post.

Create a user account for her. Make a bunch of shortcuts that restart the computer with false error messages (Google it). Replace icons with typical desktop icons.

Laugh.

By default I think you can only interrupt this one using ctrl-alt-del.

That isn't the case when I manually run the scr file or when I let the computer start it. It also appears only on my primary screen. (I use two monitors; The other monitor is just black.)

Might be a Windows 7 difference, since it's not listed as supported.

Always works with non compy-savvy people. [/color]

Ooops, double post. delete please.

This is a great idea! just do this.

She'd just use the taskbar or Windows Logo. Using Windows 7.

ctrl alt-delete -> taskmanager -> processes -> explorer.exe right click, end it
to make it back to normal ->taskmanager ->applications -> new task... -> type in explorer.exe and press run.

While you're at it,

Make every shortcut on your desktop redirect her to incest doujin. Set the homepage to a vulgar site, only make it work offline. Disable your internet connection. If she's not tech savvy, and I suspect she's not, she probably will be pulling her hair trying to figure out why the only web page that works is big brother's naughty site.


Or, if you don't want to be so vulgar, just set your homepage to one of those Rickroll sites that have a script running to make your browser windowed and dance across the screen. Every time she opens the browser, she'll have a hard time going to whatever site she wants.

Install Linux and don't tell her the admin password.

Or just windows key + L when you leave the computer like everyone else said.
