Default Sharing a computer with use of passwords

At home, I have an Lap Top running XP home. On this we have four accounts.
Myself and my wife have "administrator" accounts with password protection and
the children have a normal account each again with passport protection. Both
my wife and I can remove the passport protection status but then it has gone
and a new password will be needed.

Am I right in thinking that there is no other way to see what our children
are doing appart from taking away the password which they would see when then
next tried to log on??

Default Re: Sharing a computer with use of passwords

I am not sure what you mean by see what they are doing but if you mean that
you want to see what is in their folders then an administrator can always
gain access to any folder on the computer in XP Home. The administrator may
first need to take "ownership" of the folder and then give themselves
permissions to the folder. The link below explains in much more
