I have a situation where we are trying to limit access to a computer with
Windows XP. We have set up a user account with a password, but the person we
are trying to keep off the computer knows how to get around the login process
( I can ellaborate how he does this if I need to).

Is there another way or other software that will lockdown a computer?
