Not so easy

I usually leave my computer on to check email in the background, with Seti@Home as the screen saver. Next time it will have a password on it. But he can still hardware reset the machine and use the cancel button to get in. *"If you're going to cheat, cheat fair. If there's anything I hate it's a crooked crook!" -Moe Howard*

Any child rebooting a computer without permission definitely needs to be disciplined. Using an open computer is opportunistic (still not condoned), but rebooting should be an absolute forbidden.

I have this sort of thing to look forward to when my own son grows up a bit. Right now at age 4, he is giving me a hard time already. Apparently it gets worse or more complex as they get older. *"If you're going to cheat, cheat fair. If there's anything I hate it's a crooked crook!" -Moe Howard*

Even if you leave it running...and they try to reboot to get past the screensaver password...the bios password will keep them out. If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
