I have a computer question for you. Do you know how to
password protect a computer when you are not using it so
others don't use it? There has been a problem with
family wanting to use the computer and it keeps running
into problems. I want to create a password or do
something so they cannot use it. Please e-mail and let
me know if you know how to go about this. I tried to
creating a password but you can push cancel and it will
bypass having to put in the password so it did not work.
Let me know. Thanks.

You can open the computer's BIOS and set a password.
