You could set up a new account for your son and then log in as root. Enter his data folder by going through users/yourson/documents and copy all of the files he needs to the drop box inside his public folder of his new account. Then delete his old account.
Thanks a lot. That is an idea. Now for the dumbest question in the world. How do I log in as root? At the main log in screen, I'm listed a Administrator. When I log in with my account and try to get at his stuff by going to HD-Users-Erich I'm told I don't have enough access privileges to get into anything but his shared and Public Folders. Guess I don't know as much about Macs as I thought.
Next time, punish him in a different way.
Good advice. This punishment turned out to be a bigger headache for me than it was for him!
