    Passwording the desktop?

    Hi all, my friend has windows ME and he wants to password the desktop when he is away so that no-one else can use the computer..........is this at all possible?

    Could he use a screensaver somehow that needs a password?

    (note : the password has to be on the desktop, i.e. the desktop has to be locked somehow)

    Many thanks

    Yep, you can use a ScreenSaver, and set a password..... but if he wants the desktop to be visible, then...

    There are a couple of programmes out there that lock down the desktop and stop the Ctrl Alt Del. I think you can get one at Planet Source Code.
    How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
