Answer» i want to set up a second user on my campaq laptop for the kids i just want them to be able to use itunes and pcdj which is a karaoke program. i want nothing else available to them. what happens if i don't remember the administration password Your laptop could become the most expensive doorstop in your area. MAKE a note of it somewhere....and remember where that somewhere is.

As for the password, look at Dusty's post. Quote from: emieleke0013 start > configuration window > user accounts > make a new account > etc.... Otherwise KNOWN as Control Panel That's the sentence I was looking for, thanks Dusty. yes i understand about adding a user but how do i make it so that just the two programs show up on the desk top Quote from: mwadeson on January 21, 2008, 05:19:39 PM yes i understand about adding a user but how do i make it so that just the two programs show up on the desk topEssencially, you cant keep them out of all programs. When SETTING up a account for that computer, set up an administrator account (for you, give it a password) and set up an account for them (make sure its Limited) You can go to: C:\Documents and Settings\TheirUsername\Desktop (Click My Computer to get to C:\) and from there, you will see the icons that they see on your desktop. hey yeah that's right. just make a limited / guest account in windows xp or vista. In vista, you can use parental controls. Just make sure all software you install are available to all users so that your kids can access it.Quote from: Dusty on January 21, 2008, 01:02:29 AM Make a note of it somewhere....and remember where that somewhere is. lol... good one! But, where he 'makes' the note may not necessarily be where he wishes to leave it, so although he remembers where he made the note - that might not be where the note is actually kept! I recommend you remember (a) writing the note & (b) where you have the note & (c) not forgetting where it is! |
