Second Income

Many people have learned the hard way that there really is potential loss sitting in your PC.  If you are like most people there are things on your PC that are priceless – and not just access to credit card numbers.  Your identity can be stolen just by letting someone get access to your PC for a few minutes.  Add to this the obvious living conditions produced by a lagging economy and you have the potential for other people – even ones you care about – getting access to your PC.  The scenario we hear about most goes something like this.  Your son and his wife move back in with you while they both look for work.  They will need email access to your PC for resumes, etc.   Naturally, you allow them to use your system.  Then suddenly you notice that someone has been accessing your financial records and – boom – you have a disaster, and someone is accessing your online banking account and transferring money to another account.  You just witnessed a common scenario in this country.

There are several ways to lock up your PC.  Most new PCs provide adequate security via the user account subsystem.   On these PCs you will not only be able to protect your data, you will be able to do so without appearing to demonstrate your need for security and, hence, embarrass everyone in the house. 

What can someone do with an older PC that does not have built-in User Accounts?   That is easy to do.

Start the Password Protect procedure by pressing the Windows and ‘L’ key.   Doing this will access Windows password lock system.   Then do the same thing you would do to get into your Admin Control – press together the Alt+CTL+Delete keys;  then choose ‘K’.   Click the “Turn On Monitor Setting Dialog” and then select the “Create Desktop Shortcut” in order to turn off your monitor.  At this point you have initiated the security process providing access to the security subsystem via your keyboard and a direct desktop access to it.  Next, click your Control Panel and then double click “User Accounts”.  This will get you into the user account panel.  Select the User Account you want and follow the instructions for creating an account password.  

You now have a direct access by desktop to the security subsystem where you will be entering your new password to gain access to your PC.  If you are using a newer PC with built-in User Account options you should use them to their fullest level of password control. 

Make sure you keep your sensitive files in folders that are within User Account Control.   This means simply doing the little things that protect you – like never selecting an option that gives you an auto-login or ‘stay logged in’ to your primary email.

When you have completed this process make sure you do a Registry Update.   Registry repair systems do the registry fix functions and you can download a top registry software package that does all the necessary updates automatically.  This will also accomplish any needed Registry Repair.
