If the pc is password protected and the guest account is turned off, a foreign body will have access to the machine or your pc? Help, please

I want to protect my children from my pc because I don't want to access the net. So I would like to ask if my pc is protected from pw and the guest account is disabled is there another way that my child will be able to access my pc without my supervision?

Hello

Here is a very good explanation by Malkeleah and others in the linked Thread that explains that it is virtually impossible to stop a person access to your computer, if they really want.

"(N'importe quel ordinateur exécutant un système d'exploitation est accessible par une personne avec 1) access physical;" (2) time; (3) jurisdiction; (4) tools. There are a few things you can do to make it a little more difficult but:

1. define a password in the BIOS that must be entered before starting the operating system. Also to set the supervisor password in the BIOS so the BIOS configuration cannot be entered without it.

2. starting at the BIOS, change the order of boot to hard drive first.

3. set strong passwords on all accounts, including the built-in XP administrator account (it is disabled by default in Vista).

4. If you leave your own account connected, use Windows key + L to lock the computer (or set the screen/power economy saver) when you step away from the computer and require a password to use.

5. do the other accounts of users limited in XP Home, regular user accounts in XP Pro. All users must be on a Standard account in Vista with an administrator account used only for purposes of elevation.

Please understand that these are technical answers to what is essentially a technical problem and there are ways around these precautions. It is a problem of family / interpersonal which cannot be solved by technical means.
