Windows Login Failure Fail safe

[Jonathan Rimbaud]

I'm extremely paranoid about my computer and am looking for a way to set up
Windows Vista so that if the windows login password incorrectly more than
once it will nuke the HD? Does Vista do anything like that? Or is there
another program someone can suggest that has similiar features?

Windows does not. You will have to look for an after market product.

Not as an included program, no. Your best bet is to secure your system as
much as possible. Encryption, etc.

Jonathan,

That's rather extreme, don't you think? Password protect your account
and don't worry about it. If that's not good enough you can use encryption
software for either your files only or your whole system.
I'd hate to think what would happen if you had a couple of beers and
hit the wrong key. I don't know which edition of Vista you are using because
you did not say. If you have Ultimate you can use the BitLocker application.
If not, you may want to see the link below.
