Re: Am I doing damage??
The BIOS on my current machine can be set to power off immediately from the power button, or delay for a number of seconds
If I'm not mistaken, the XP restore disk provided by Dell, HP, etc. is tied to the mobo BIOS and specific machine configuration. It usually doesn't work on any machine but the one it was originaly dedicated to. Microshaft is kinda picky about that.
I agree with Oz, set up a separate account for each user, and limit the things they can do from each account. You can make your files inaccessible to those users, and you can prevent them from installing any additional programs from their accounts. You can place a number of usage restrictions on each account, independent of yours.
If someone else wants to use my machine, they have to use the guest account, or they can just not use it at all.
