Locking Down My Pc

Im going to be at my sisters house for awile and need to pasword protect my pc so my nephew cant get in it and mess with it....anything i can use besides the xp passowrd thingy?

Thanks

 

HI!
Actually, using the XP 'Password thingy' is the simplest way to go.
Password-protect boot-up itself so that your PC boots only with your authorization.

To enable the boot-up password, open your PC Setup program by pressing the key you're prompted to enter when your machine first starts (before Windows loads)--usually Delete, F1, or F2.

Look on Setup's main menu for User Password, Security Settings, or a similar menu selection. When prompted, enter your password of choice, but type carefully, resetting a lost or forgotten boot-up password is difficult though not impossible.

 

so the easiest way would be the password thingy huh....ok maybe its better than it use to be on win 98 when all you needed to do was hit enter and you could login ill give it a try...thx
