Being Hacked need help to lock down :)

Dear Friends
I need advice and I must say, Badly.
I’m also going to put this up as a blog, but I thought I would ask you first.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

As you know, from my profile, I am a tech who keeps computers in shape for charitable organizations and the
unfortunate individuals who belong to these organizations.
I even build and the give away Computers to these people.
Right now I am the tech, responsible for the computers in an organization for the disadvantaged.

I don’t want to meet him as I can’t guarantee my conduct.
My Question;
Is there any way that I can absolutely lock down the computer so that mine will be the only Name & Password
and every else must sign on as guest?
I am not a hacker, so I don’t know all the tricks of that trade.
My setup was working just fine until this individual came along and I don’t want this to become a cat and mouse game with
