Part 1: How to Annoy Other People Who Use Your Computer: Put a Login Password

Okay, so I have a laptop and some people I don't like use it. I cannot tell them no for specific personal reasons (even if I want to) but I found a few ways to annoy them lol.

The first thing that I did is to make sure that they cannot play online games. That is actually the only reason that they use my laptop anyway. It is irritating that I had to wait for my turn to use MY laptop. So what I did was to put a password on my laptop. Because of that, they can no longer open my laptop without me turning it on first.

I have Windows 7 as my operating system. It is pretty easy to set up an Admin Password no matter what operating system you have.

1. Click Start or the Windows icon
2. Go to Control Panel.
3. I normally click on "Small Icons" in the View By function at the upper right side of the window. This is to help me go to the User Accounts section easily. Feel free to do whatever you please.
4. Click on User Accounts and click on Add Password or whatever it says. Mine says Change Your Password since I have a password already.
5. You can check if your password is working if your account says it is password protected. You can also check if you restart your computer.

Make sure that you do not forget your password and you do not use random passwords that will take you several hours (okay, I'm exaggerating) to type. Nevertheless, make sure those pesky people would not figure out what your password is.
