i have a couple of friends who are always trying to find ways to mess with my computer. i have the regular password that you have to type in when windows starts but they say they no a way to find out the password from the files on the hard drive. i thought about making a profile with restricted access to the hard drive but they say there is a way to figure out the password in DOS without even booting into win 98. they also say they can get my AOL password by copying a file off my hard drive and doing something with AOL 3.0. if possible i would like to try to avoid installing a lot of fancy security software. is there some way i can keep my friends out of my stuff using just windows? it would make them really mad and keep them from installing all their dumb games on my computer.

any help appreciated
