Hi Readers,

I have a new Toshiba laptop. and been wondering whether to set a
Windows password

i shall be the only user. Toshiba provides password protection
which i have set , i shall be

taking the laptop abroad in a few weeks time. I also have two
desktops which i don't use

any passwords, being the only user but do have some protected files. What
i dont fully

understand is , i dont want to create another user choice ,reading
some of the posts

problems seems to arise by not being able to update & install programs
,servicing etc.

Opinions would be appreciated

I would always recommend using a password (as well as setting a strong
password on the built-in Administrator account), but note that this won't
protect your data very thoroughly. Anyone can figure out how to reset a
Windows password if they do a few minutes of research. What you may want is
file encryption (EFS).
