Well, I certainly had some reading to do;thanks to both of you!
I can NOW see how important it WAS for me to jump on the “lack of disc space” prompt immediately! Stupid of me to think that Microsoft would give me an opportunity to correct the problem at a later date.
Truthfully, most all of the space was being taken up by my children and their videos, pictures, and music. I simply moved ALL of those files to a partition that has 20GB of space–they can run the stuff from there.

What an experience this has been. I thank all the members who also viewed my post!
Now maybe I can get on with life ‘in the fast lane’!

Great job from everyone who took the time to help. I now know where I stand and what I have to do.

Sorry for any confusion, I’ll try to answer all the queries within this post.

First to look at Joe’s concerns . No it is not a ‘domain based network’, it’s a home based PC with 4 kids!
Now, don’t all of ye’ raise your hands and lean back in those huge arm chairs, K?

Now for kaplinb:

The “lock” system is the Win logo key+the “L” key, and you’re right it locks that user’s screen and can only be unlocked by his/her password (much the same as a password protected screensaver I suppose). However, as you know if another user just ‘hard boots’ the machine when it’s in this “locked” state, the system will just boot up normally to the desktop. Which in my case has happened.The other users have set their own passwords but as the administrator, I can easily change those anyway.

Therefore, I want to be able to password protect the boot-up so that the administrator is the ONLY one who can turn on/boot the system in order for it to be used.
Each of the users have their own desktop, and I have restriced those users from specific partitioned drives containing MY critical information.

Therefore, I think John has covered the area in which I should be looking.
If any of the readers have the specific ‘actions’ that I should be taking in the BIOS, I’d appreciate any help. I’m a little nervous about those “DOS looking” screens.

Thanks to all for your support and welcomed information.

Thanks Steve for the info. This will do just fine.

Edit to previous post of November 22nd. (Can I hide a partitioned drive from other users?)

Would it be possible then to create users within a ‘user group’ and “restrict access” to those users to a particular partition of the drive?

Thanks a bunch to you and Rudi !!! It did it!

Thanks Hans
Seems like it would be a great addition to Word 2003?!> or beyond!

I’m NOT one for going into the Registry, however, the software may help my timidness, I’ll go that route first.
Again, my thanks for your response.
