    Hi Roger,
    Thanks for your help but maybe i should have been more specific.
    I am currently running XP Home edition and when i turn my computer on it
    shows a welcome screen. On the welcome screen is my sign-in name 'dad' and i
    am the administrater. Also there are the names of my kids and we each have to
    put in our password to enter our username and settings. I am the only
    administrater, the kids have limited accounts.
    What i want to do is 'lock' the computer so that they are unable to use it
    sometimes. For instance if they have been bad and a punishment of no games is
    ordered, then i want to be able to set a password that prevents them from
    logging on while i am out of the house.
    i found out that by turning 'fast user switching' off i could press
    'windows+L' which locks it, but my irritating son soon realised that by
    rebooting the computer it resets to the normal welcome screen and he can log
    in as normal!
    This is kind of annoying. So please, is there anyway that i can temporarily
    lock the PC when the kids are bad?!
    Thanks
