I have setup customers with a seperate drive in the system. They store thier personal files there. They can simply disable it in the BIOS. Then to use it again they re-enable it. This takes a few extra seconds but is pretty effective.

Something I've done for a couple of my customers is to get them another hard drive that is installed in a removable caddy tray. That way when your not there simply take the drive out. Store your personal files there.

I have one customer that uses this on the main drive, when he doesn't want the kids to use the computer he removes the drive and puts it up. He has 2 teenagers and they know more about the computer than he does. He tried to set the content on the system. Yeah right, the brats created userprofiles that he knew nothing about. I stumbled upon them when I was helping him with a problem. The cookies, well let's say were a bit of an embarrassment.

Another customer caught his teenage daughter using the digital video camera to show off her bod' to whatever perverts were in the chat rooms at Yahoo. Did the same thing for her parents.

I guess eventually some smart-ass kid will go and get a hard drive and caddy that daddy doesn't know about. It's amazing some of the sneaky things kids will do.
