hubby has to get a new pc for the club.

his is fried. he got a virus that wiped it out. plus having it plugged inot he same circuit as a microwave. does have a strong surge protector, but he finally has learned his lesson.

what i need to know is can either windows xp or vista be totally password protected?

he needs to have it blocked so employees cannot get online.

he had xp and when the login screen would come up, they could bypass it. or that is what he said. it would just go to a defaut user. i'll ask him exactly what it said, if he can remember.

he has internet through at&t.

also, can all browsers programs like IE be taken off safely?

it was pain, but he was trying to take the modem home everynight. not a good feeling to come into work and find that the employee in charge has spent their shift playing online. plus so much got loaded on the pc.
