Could someone please tell me the simplest way to stop my 12 year old step-son
from using the computer when he is home alone and unsupervised? Can his
mother just set one password that she has to enter, therefore stopping anyone
else from using it?

Thanks PA Bear I agree with all you say, but the issue is not here at his
dad's house, it's at his mother's house where he lives. She's not the
brightest person and I'm trying to (politely) get her to child-proof the
computer for when she is not at home. If I had anything to say about the
matter (which I don't), that house would not even have a computer. So
please, any suggestions on this problem would be most greatful.

With Windows XP (and I believe WinNT/2K), set up a password protected
account.

or

Establish a 'power-up' password on the affected computer via BIOS.

or

A physical dongle that is needed to do anything.

Note, they use these dongles where I work, a device attached to a USB
port that takes a credit card sized key. Then they tape the key into the
device so it won't get lost.

I'm glad my Mom named me Aaron,
