Microsoft's TweakUI powertoy. Or Google on how to do it. Just remember


I intend to install XP's TweakUI (I'm familiar with it from '98).

that ANYONE that walks over to your computer can pretend to be you and
do whatever they want, including "friends" (and friends of friends of
friends that you don't even know but still get invited to your parties)
and the thief that steals your computer.


(I don't have parties.) I put the "I am`aware" line in, in the (futile)
hope of avoiding the (well-intentioned, I'm sure) advice.

So in short, Task Manager can't be made to work without passwords,
though their use can be made invisible (surely negating their effect).

We need a reversal of the old saying: "DON'T do unto others as you would have
them NOT do unto you." (Paraphrase from "The Moral Maze", 1998-11-21: it was an
attempt - quite good I thought - to get a modern [and non-specific] version.)
