I have a problem every time i leave my room for more than five mintues my sister jumps in and signs me off while im in hte middle of talking to someone
is there a way to block her sn to signing on
is there a way to block her sn to signing on
No. The only solution is creating an enviroment around your computer to have all of life’s necessities at arms reach eliminating the need to get up from the computer. You can start by installing a minifridge, and a bucket to pee in.
You can get an addon that can lock your AIM and/or clone AIM. Messenger:Mate is the one I’d recommend, but its $10. In which case if you want something free that can clone AIM but not lock it, go with Middle Man.
depending on your operating system, you can also lock your computer when you get up to leave, if you have separate user accounts set up, or if you have a password on the account. I dont remember how lower versions work, but in Windows XP you can “quick-switch” with WindowsKey-L, which locks the station until you sign in again. it keeps all your programs running, etc, just prevents others from using the computer.
or you could tell her to wait her turn.
i have tried the wait till ur turn but its getting annoying and i got imhider but that works when my computers on all she has to do is restart and go on and messengermate is paypal which i dont have
She’ll always be able to restart, you need to secure the physical environment to fix that one. You could toy wtih setting a BIOS password, or limit the computer to one user account with a password only you know on it.
