Dell Computers can disable the CD-ROM drives in the BIOS setup, just hit F2 after turning the computer on. Just change the Secondary master drive to "Off", "None" or equivalent. Then, you can enter a password in the BIOS setup screen so he can't go in and change it.\n\nThe only way to reset the password without knowing it would be to take out the battery, unplug the pc, and short the cmos jumper on the motherboard.  Let's hope he doesn't read this or figure that out!

windows has it's own firewall too. you can access it from control panel-security-firewall settings, and disable it...but remember, when a program want you to disable your firewall, it is because it wants to get in, and it leaves a door for everyone else too

The only way is to make the computer completely secure is to make it a part of a domain. \nYour other choice is the create another username on the machine. Making sure it has access to everything you want to be able to use. After doing this, restart the computer and instead of entering a username/password click 'cancel' this is the default user, remove everything from the start menu WITHOUT uninstalling anything. This will deny direct access when you don't enter a password and click cancel. You can't do anything without knowing what you are doing. You can take this a step further and place a .bat file in the startup folder on this profile that reboots the machine if the password is not entered. You can also do several registry tweaks to remove the 'run' feature and others.

In Norton Internet Security there is a section that relates to Program Control. This located in the Firewall section from the main control panel. Click configure and select Programs. From here you can change the access for a program, alternatively you can scan for programs an then delete the entry for Limewire.\n\nYou can always type the question in Norton start at....\nhttp://www.symantec.com/techsupp/home_homeoffice/select_product_ts.html\nand type your enquiry.

start-->run--> gpedit.msc. form there go to user config, then administrative templates, from there you can prohibit access to e.g. command prompt, regedit, pretty much anything you want.

You go to "My Network Places", than click the "View network connections" on the left of the windows that appears.\nThat you right click the connection you don't want anymore and choose "Disable".\nYou can also delete it from that menu, although you might have to restart.

Two ways to try.\n1.  Boot into safe mode at a DOS prompt and delete it manually\n2. Set up a script to delete it on boot.

The easiest way to disable it is to navigate to control panel in your start menu, add/remove programmes, from the window that comes up select the option on the right hand menu set programme access and default. In the new window Click on the custom tab, scroll down to Choose default media player and take the tick out of the box in the windows media that says enable access to this programme.\n\nIt's as simple as that!

If you are talking about remote access you need to also disable it. Otherwise you are safe. You should also check out the concerned support or knowledgebase of the OS you are using before you assume I am right. I am a Civil engineer with a little experience working with computers thats all.\n\nGood Luck.

there is an option in the registry called RestrictRun, It will block any program that you dont specify as OK, however, if you dont include regedit.exe you'll be in trouble.. You can find info on it at www.regedit.com\n\nI dont know if it would help with a plugin though..
