the only way to secure pc is my keeping password even though you created bios password you should tell him,so first create another user account to him under his name with limited permissions not an administrator,secondly make the data or folders which you think to be unview by everyone secure, using some folder locks or so many techniques are there for this,see my thread in forums where a technique of folder is visible to everyone but when double clicked nothing will be there inside and folder looks like recycle bin see all those tweaks in internet also

i want him not to use my PC not even limited permissions.And he will also be sucessful in forcing me if even i create his limited user acc.

Well if you are so compromising, don't bother doing anything

Or simply, erase XP and run Linux (Or fart a flamethrower at your SMPS)

 

[Batistabomb]

dude how that is possible to not switch on your pc

 

[azzu]

Run linux

 

[slugger]

take out d battery from the BIOS everytime u stop using d computer

ur BIOS settings may get changed but u can change them back next time u use ur comp

slap him,fight with him,give him electric shock,try to hypnotise him,tell him he annoys you,ask him to pay you for using your pc,tell him your mobo+processor went kaput and he will have to buy new ones if he want to use your pc.

Still need more suggestions?

Let's get this straight :

-- Your cousin wants to use the computer, you don't want him to.
-- If you set a password on anything, you'd have to tell him for the sake of family relations.
-- You don't want to touch the inside of your computer.
-- He's very successful at forcing things out of you.

wtf? Do you want to use the computer or not? If yes, you're going to have to toughen up and learn to keep a few secrets. If no...well then there's no point anyway.

There's no point in using linux any more than there is in using windows in this case if you'll tell him the root password, and even less sense in the matter if neither of you know how to use linux.

What a mess.

Transfer pc to some other secret room & tell ur cousin that u sold it.This will keep him away.Isn't useful if he comes to stay at ur home.

 

[Sykora]

Sell your PC, and tell your cousin you sold it. It will definitely keep him away, and it's guaranteed to work even if he comes to stay at your home. The drawback is that in the absence of the computer, you may be tasked with occupying him, and from what I gather, you won't want to do that.

 

[vandit]

Just replace ur shell(i.e explorer.Exe ) from msconfig>system.Ini to notepad...
That way only notepad will open when u start ur comp...Just tell ur bro..That u donno how it happend..(remember to back up ur system.Ini file before u do ne modification..)

 

[utsav]

download virus?

its a good option but it will prevent u also from using ur pc

one option is there.download the BSOD screensaver and put it in startup.it will run when any1 starts the pc and u tell them that ur PC is Damaged and u shut down ur pc.it might work
