Hi:

I found out that my stepson broke into the computer using
the safemode feature as you said. Could you please let me
know how to desable this feature and stop him from getting
into my files. I am wondering if using the safe mode
feature to start up will give him administrative rights.
How can I protect my pc & files more, so he cannot get
into it anymore.
Thank you
