you can turn the media center off by control panel >> uninstall a program >> turn windows features on or off >> untick media center

but if your son is a dedicated hacker, he'll find out how to turn it back on again.

how exactly is he hacking with media center?

Have you Tried Media Lock? Your Son will be able to unlock it unless he does not know how to

To do this go to Tasks then at the very end of the options there is a Media only button click it

The Arab punishment of amputating both hands is known to be very effective in these cases. :devil:

Having said that, today's youngsters are very adept with new technology so even that may not stop him.

what is it that he is doing? or u dont want him doing? if its web search's use ur router and u can use key word blocking. also why would he turn off media center to access the net?

also you may want to delte ur internet history so he doesnt know that your using this forum.

ah rite ok. make him a user on the PC, and under security take off control to 'security' IE (internet explorer) so then he cant open it or run exe files.

and do the same for other apps u dont want him to use.

so is this thread about how to control your 12yrs old kid from hacking your daddy Media center?

kids gonna find a way, no matter what you do, until you are a better hacker yourself. if your 12 yrs old is a hacker, he will find a way no matter what you do to your media center. how about get him a PC and let him do what he wants... and teach him from right and wrong.

the best way for him not to hack your Media Center is to turn off your media center. pull the plug.
