Locking PC
[582 byte] By [coolduderyan07] at [2007-11-20 2:47:47] 
Hey, I have a little bit of a problem. I have a pc in my room (this one) and my brother, every once in a while will log on to the pc as administrator and change my rights and whatnot, sometimes my files. I know there is a lock pc command, but is there one that can keep the pc locked up no matter what, even if restarted, for a certain period of time? Say i go to school and set it to 5 hrs... and while I'm at school, my brother is at home for 2 hrs, and uses my pc, is there anyway I can activate the 5 hr lock in the morning and by the time I get home, it would be unlocked?

Well, I have never heard of something exactly like that. Take a look at the following and see if they are what you want.http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/pc-timer-lock.html
I will have this moved to Windows OS Issues.

Would be best just to turn the screen saver lock on. How come you can't just use a password?Rich2189 at 2007-11-10 3:41:06 >

If it's only yout brother (an "innocent" then...)Just get your PC start with a program (you can write it in VB) hiding all the icons and the taskBar unless you give the right password.
That's easy to be done but won't protect you if tour brother knows a lot of Windows...(Windows security is just a legend)

Change the Administrator password and setup a local group policy under his account limiting him to only log on during certain times/days.RobDog888 at 2007-11-10 3:43:11 >

That is pretty much what I'm looking for, because, the only thing he really knows how to do is make a shutdown tool in Dos.. through a batch file.
Do you know any good tutorials I could follow, to make this?
