Passwords

Hey,

Just wondering, whats the best way to stop my computer retarded flatmate from accessing my laptop and wrecking havoc when im out? I cant lock it up or whatever, i just want to put a password on it at startup so i know it can not be accessed. Is there a setting in windows which just asks for a password to log on?

Use a BIOS password and you will not even get to windows ...

Control Panel > User Accounts > Click your name > change password.

Sorted.

Oh and make sure guest account is off...
