Physical Computer Lock


Recommended Posts

I agreed to my parents that if I can get a new computer that I will stay on the honor roll at my school or they'll take away my computer from my bedroom. So, I am trying to reason with them by getting a physical computer lock or something of that sort so they don't have to take the computer out of my room, in case I need it for schoolwork or something. Any suggestions on where I can get one or if anyone has a better idea than an actual lock, please speak up.

I'm thinking of NickLock, which is easily bypassable just by changing the jumpers :evil: anyway, I think it's a win-win situation for me :D

why dont they just make a user accound in XP that is only allowed to use Word and no games and internet and change the password for the administrator till you get those grades up

i don't really want their grubby hands touching my computer, because i'm gonna be paying for it. I also don't want then to be able to go through the hard drive's contents, and they can do that since they would be an admin. Good idea though

*3rd party software - encrypts folders/Drives you tell it too so they cant be viewed without a password

*Hide the Drives you dont want them viewing with TweakXP

*Heaps of other lil tricks buzzing around whoichj you cvan use to hide stuff, some of them complex others simple, but it doesnt souind like your parents would be IT specialists or something so basic stuff would probably work in hiding whatever you dont want seen from the,m.
