Hi to all, I'm a new user and I have a question. I would like to know how to
 prevent my kids from booting up in safe mode. I had them on as limited user
s, but they problems with games. They needed me to constantly load the games
. I see many articles about booting up in safe mode, but what about securing
 it? Thanks, Bill

Safe mode will not give a user any more right or permissions but will bypass
 startup
programs. Booting into safemode with networking will bypass software firewal
ls which
is bad if you use a software firewall to protect your computer from the inte
rnet and
the only viable solution I know of for that is to use a hardware firewall su
ch as one
of the popular nat router devices found at Best Buy, etc from Linksys, Netge
ar,
Dlink, etc. Also protecting your operating system with a syskey password wil
l not
allow user access  to the operating system without the password or floppy, t
hough
that is a more sever measure and could lockout legitimate access such as aft
er a
power outage/glitch. --- Steve
