If you're using an NT-based version of windows (NT4, 2000, XP, or one of |
| 8 |
those fancy Vista previews), you can use the Administrator account (or |
| 9 |
any user with admin rights, e.g. your wife) to disable your son's |
| 10 |
account when he isn't allowed to be gaming. Or, change his password to |
| 11 |
something of your choice, and type it in for him when he is allowed to |
| 12 |
play, same as you would at the GRUB prompt. |

And if you're using a Windows <NT4, I hope for your sake it doesn't have |
| 15 |
network drivers installed. :) |
