If you put in an administrative password, they can only shut it down if the
hold down the shift key for a no-extension start-up. Just don't forget what
the password is!

Or you can just choose "Switch to Finder" from the Apple menu.

FoolProof is a good utility to keep them from messing around with the
System folder and preferences. It is configurable to your needs and
password protected.

Unless they learn how to hold the shift key down like my kids have during
boot.

There's a key for every lock.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll look into it - I believe I saw that 
on the System CD for a Performa - let me look.

Kid-proofing computers

2005-12-21 Thread Kyle Koerner 

Hi everyone,
I may be getting some old Macs to convert into toddler computers.  I 
would like to know how to make them as kid-proof as possible, software 
and hardware wise.  I will most likely be giving only the computer and 
keyboard/mouse, no printers or modems, etc.  I plan on putting 
educational/fun kid software on them, if I get enough parts for a 
working system or two.  Any suggestions?  Most likely System 7.1 or 
7.5.


Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
Kyle-
