[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1162366, member: 131855"] I don't think there is a way to stop things before it gets to the login screen. The closest thing I could come up with was setting an Open Firmware/EFI password but that doesn't prevent booting. [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352]Setting up firmware password protection in Mac OS X[/url] There may be other options out there that I am not thinking about at the moment. Until someone comes along with a better idea I'd suggest disabling automatic login on all accounts and making sure you have strong passwords set that he does not know. That way he still has to get past the login screen. [/QUOTE]
