A friend of mine has a teenager who is pretty handy when it comes to cracking passwords ;) Sadly he then goes about downloading all kinds of viruses and malware with the games he wants to play and the laptop becomes unusable to the parents.
I've suggested letting the kid keep the one he's mangled and buying a new one for the parents, but what's out there to keep him off the new one.
There have been similar threads in the past which have gone done the 'proper parenting' path, can we please not do that with this. I'm genuinely interested in what can be done to lock down a laptop over and above typical Windows passwords.
