Locking Tast Manager

[Doug]

Hi everybody,

I did this once before but have forgotten how to now. I have WinXP Pro SP2
and have 2 admin user accounts, how can I, the main admin, lock the other
user from bringing up Task Manager? I want all other privileges available,
just not task manager. I'm trying to keep a teenager from shutting down a
timing software that limits his time and cuts him off. He has figured out
what to close in Task Manager to make it go away.

Also, is there a way to keep him from bringing up "Safe Mode" on a "Abit
NF7" MB?? He also found away to get what he wants by doing this also.
Setting a BIOS password does no good, I thought it might, but it does not.

Anyway, any help is appreciated!

Doug

I was kind of looking for something simplistic, like "goto control panel,
select users" blah blah blah... That program by MS looks way over the top
for what I'm doing. I running a simple peer to peer home network is what
I'm doing and just trying to lock out a teenager from the system processes.

Thank you for your time just the same though,

Doug

You can make your program run as a service.
Even the child can open taskmanager, he cannot terminate the process.

Well how do you do that then?

Thanks,

Doug
