Having a Party saturday, I need a program that'll remove some access to my system.

Basically it's a huge party at my house, and I don't want people deleting files or installing viruses onto my computer. Just something nice and effective, maybe a simple password lock would do the trick. I still want Net access and my start menu, just without the permissions to delete files/install.

Should I just activate the guest account in WinXP and use that instead?

don't let people use your computer. guest account is good, or give me account which is limited

 

[gopunk]

i would just activate guest account

I think he's going to be using his computer as a sound system of sorts which is why he needs a program

 

Never mind...I'd start the computer in your account, play your music, and then hit WIN + L to lock it. You'll need your password to unlock it.

What kind of party has people at a PC?

The only computer on at my parties is the MP3-playin box downstairs. No keyboard, no mouse. I Remote Desktop in from a secured location (upstairs) if I have to do major stuff (edit playlists) but for the most part I just use my housemate's ATI Remote Wonder. Damn, that thing's a dream.

Bingo. Only reason then I'd need to unlock it is if I have to download more songs.

Thanks !

they can download them? They better not. I hooked up my IR remote controller which I FINALLY have a use for after uying it last year so I can control Winamp like another system. w00t.
