Using windows me. I've put my name in as a new user and on startup the
computer correctly asks me for my password. And when the password is
entered, the computer correctly finishes booting up.
The problem is, if I click on cancel when prompted for the password, the
computer boots up with, I assume, me as a guest, and I still have full access
to the computer.
And this leaves me wondering what's the purpose of setting a username and
password.
What I'd like to do is set a global password. When the computer boots up it
would say something like "What's the password?" If the password is not given
the computer is not accessable.
Or another idea is if the username and password is not given then certain
parts of the computer are not accessable.
Or in other words, how do the wife and I keep our 15 year old daughter (and
her friends) out of our personal files without unplugging the computer and
putting it in a 100 plus pound safe?
Help! Help!
Not much in Windows ME. I means a lot more in later editions of Windows with NTFS formatted hard drives.
