Hi Chris,
Seems like a good plan. Another thing you could do it to set an account
lockout policy. This means that if someone enters an incorrect password 3
times, the account gets locked for a set amount of time, after which point
the person trying to log on is able to try again. if you have the pro
versions of windows 7 like pro or ultimate, then you can set this via local
group policy, if not, there's a command line tool for doing it, but
unfortunately I can't remember the commands off the top of my head.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Improving the security of my computers
Hello all.
I will be moving to a property very soon. I am thinking on the software
side to secure my laptop so that a quick thief can't just log onto my
desktop, for example.
I have seen with server operating systems that you are required to press
ctrl+alt+delete before you can log in, even though your account(s) may not
be password protected. I see Windows 7 offers this capability but it is
off by default.
Do you think this is a good idea?
All thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
