I have had to deal with some nightmare scenarios with clever teenagers and such like
in the household. Ultimately, the only way to make the contents of your hard drive
safe from the peeking and poking from other sources is to have the hard drive in
a removable disk tray which can be taken out and locked away. It is possible to build
standalone restricted-use windows environments onto a bootable CD using The
Ultimate Boot Disk For Windows (UBCD4WIN) so that the machine can be booted without
any hard disk at all. However, getting to grips with that is a learning curve just
as hard as setting up restricted user accounts! Very useful though and it has a myriad
of things which can be included or excluded by choice, plus the added benefit that
it is impossible to corrupt the operating system in any way since it is on a read-only
CD. You would need your Windows Installation CD as a prerequisite for building a
UBCD4WIN. Hope this helps. Cheers. Spexx.
