  1. Steve, This computer will only be used by the daughter, who will have full access to it without any internet connection. I was only looking for info on making the machine bullet proof in as much as she would not corrupt the OS. Nothing more than a reboot and all is back to where it is supposed to be. Her mom, brother and me all have our on computers and so does she. We want her to be able to operate and do what she can at will. I just don't want to have to rebuild the hard drive like I did when her brothers were small and played around in areas that they didn't know what they were doing. "I am not interested in Daddy my computer is broken." thanks John
  2. I am sorry that I didn't make that clear, she would only have access as a user, even though the main/only user. thanks
  3. We are doing computer upgrades at our home. The wife wants our daughter to get one also. Our daughter has Downs Syndrome with very low reasoning ability. She has had her own computer with 98 installed, basically for emulation, but is restricted because newer software wont run on it. I would like advice on setting up her new hand me down computer with new XP install, that she can turn on at will, with auto logon, but with most features disabled to her, or basic setup that she can use and not effect by unknowing key strokes. I want her to either be able to play her program CDs or install the software that she uses. I suspect I need to set up the admin account with password, to guard the os install. The computer will not be connected to the net, unless I bring it to my office area and plug in a Ethernet cable. In other words we want her to play all she wants, but not be concerned that she might corrupt the system, to where it needs admin work. many thanks PS: If I posted in the wrong forum, I apologize.
