Thanks everyone for all your replies. We've made a To Do List and the
first item is backup his whole drive - I will buy him an external on
Thursday.
So we will be implementing many of your excellent suggestions, just
not today :@D
We did ask the other two guys what kind of RAM they have on their
machines - they each have 4 gigs to my kid's 1 gig. So it would seem
that may be the factor.

Still not a good idea.
He needs to logout. Then you login to an administrator account,
open System
Preferences, Accounts tab, and select his account. Check the box
for admin.

Actually I'll disagree with Dan here; it works perfectly well to do
this while the user is logged in; you have to use the credentials
of an current administrator to do so, of course, but once you've
done this they can do anything they want. No need to log out or any
such stuff...it's not Windows, after all
hum. Just tried it in Tiger - no go - had to log out and back in to
get the admin to stick. Perhaps this working dynamically is Leo+?
