I agree with Mitch. Don't spent time on such a "lookalike security". We 
are not Microsoft, which made a joke out of itself by implementing such

If this is so important to you, get a decent OS with users at the OS 
level, e.g. Windows 2000. If you want to protect your profile, chances 
are that you want to protect your other files as well.
