My sister has teen-aged sons and younger children. When she is not aware they go online, download music, etc which has caused her lots of problems, pop-ups, etc. She had to have her pc cleaned. How can she a password on her pc which will prevent anyone from even using her pc without her permission/entry of password? She has a Sony Vaio 5400. She doesn't know a lot about computers, but she remembers that she did, at one time, have two passwords, one that would not allow access to the system and one that would not allow access to the internet without her entering the password. Once she had it cleaned, there were no passwords required.

On windows xp, click "start" then go to control panel. From here, go to "user accounts." There should already be an account listed at the bottom. Click it and then click "create a password." Then simply follow the instructions.

i'm uncertain what the guidelines are interior the U.ok. however here interior the States, the disabled have the suited to sue, to earnings equivalent get admission to. they have additionally made it a regulation that if a business employer needs/needs to remodle, they could carry everythin as much as handicap get admission to codes. which could surely pose an excellent subject for small companies. oftentimes you run into the subject with small, relatives owned eating places. let's imagine a small eating place desires to take out the previous dinner counter, and upload greater boths for seating instead. they could additionally could replace the loos, to grow to be completely handicapped accessable, and the front enterance to grow to be handicap accesable. that's why here interior the states, a small business employer in an older (or perhaps historic) development will in no way replace. as quickly as they word for a enable to replace something over a undeniable dollar quantity (i've got faith it somewhat is $2500) they could replace all of the handicap stuff additionally. So by using fact the financial corporation is in an older development, it may be risk-free here interior the States. on the different hand, the lady could nicely have the skill to sue, and earnings get admission to. ~Garnet Permaculture homesteading/farming over twenty years

Go to control panel and click on user accounts. Activate the Guest account and add a password to your Administrator account. After you do that click on the link that says "change the way users log in" and in there select show Welcome screen on bootup. Tadaaa

just go to START then either CONTROL PANEL or MY COMPUTER. then there is going to be sub categories. click on USER ACCOUNTS. click on CHANGE ACCOUNT. then she will have to click on her name and theres a section that says CREATE A PASSWORD, click that and make one so now whenever you start the computer or log off you will have to enter the password to get onto the desktop. good luck!
