New Computer New SSD Bad kid!
Hey guys been awhile,,,,
I built a computer for a friend and set it up with a small SSD drive to run his operating system (win7) and a D: Storage drive. I set his C: drive up as I always do using the tutorials on this site to gain maximum performance.
So this is my second go round because the computer owner's kid who is 17 decided he would take control and set things up how HE wants it! he took it apart and changed a bunch of stuff, screwed things back in with the wrong screws, he also messed around with my fresh pretty Windows 7 install that was tweaked and running great with a 28sec restart time that I was rather proud of. This kid moved around folders and files and had non existent short cuts everywhere!!!
I found out about this when he called and asked me why Windows Defragmenter wont run?? Yikes! I told him NO No No!! its an SSD drive DO NOT RUN Disk Defrag on the drive.
So anyhow the next day his dad tells me I need to look at the PC and make sure his kid didn't take anything out of it or anything. This kid had run driver and registry repair programs and the disk clean up ect,,,, I said what are you thinking?? this is a NEW PC (he was first one to boot it up since I set it up 2 days b4) THERE IS NO FILES and CRAP to clean up!! (I already cleaned up via Windows 7 SP1 Disk Cleanup Tool as well as deleted old backups and install files ect,,)
Soooo now my question is HOW can I protect at least the operating system so he cant screw it up? or change things ect?? Mainly I just don't want him to be able to change my settings and creating him a separate user will not work nor will will much of anything really I don't think,, since he "Thinks he is a Computer wiz" he may hve things ruined even faster this next time.
I was hoping to set this up so once im done anything they install on it will go directly to the D: storage drive and not affect the C: Drive yet still give them use of the normal windows libraries (my documents, pic, vids, music,,,,)
Is there any way?? Id guess not really I do intend to make an image of the drive that I will keep for backup just incase but I just fear this kid tearing this PC up within days like the first time even though he has been told and warned NOT to!!.
Any help would be much appreciated!!
