Any way to prevent a Standard account from creating a password?
My friend has a kid that keeps password protecting their account so their parents can't get into the kid's account. The kid has a standard account and obviously, the parent can go in and remove the password, but its getting tiresome. Is there some sort of way to block a user with a standard account from creating a password on Windows 7 Home?
Thanks in advance

Hello vram,
One way would be to remove the password for the account, then use the tutorial below to prevent that account from be able to change it's password. Password - Prevent or Allow to Change If they like, another option would be to turn on the Guest account, and have the kid use it instead. It cannot have a password created for it. Guest Account - Turn On or Off Hope this helps.

Creating a standard user account for security purposes? Hey forum, I never thought about it until recently when a friend mentioned it. He said even though I am the only one that uses my computer, that I should still create a standard user account and use that to greatly increase the security of my system. This seems to be sound logic and I have heard... |
