Help - stupid Internet Explorer question

[catnapper]

Sorry, no idea how to help, but why can't you switch to something like Firefox? It's much simpler..

No, I LOVED Firefox but unfortuntely I could not lock it from other people using it. I am admittedly anal about others using my computer. They couldn't ask me to use my computer, so I took off something I truly enjoyed just because I NEED to to know who is doing what on my computer. Yes, I know how selfish and controlling that is.... my computer has way too much on it to be lost over a virus or someone else's stupid mistake.

If someone knows of something to keep firefox from opening without a password, let me know and I'll reinstall Firefox. Until its password protected, its not on my computer.

BY the way, its all better now. I have no idea what I did, but its now all better!

You can password protect your profile but it'll only keep Joe Average User out, all passwords can be bypassed fairly easily with a bit of know how. The only safe way to keep others from using your computer is to lock it up.

Thanks for the link. I went and reinstalled Firefox, which worked perfectly. Then when I downloaded the extenion my Firefox wouldn't load properly. Its now running in safe mode and it never asked me to set up password stuff.

Sigh. Why does this have to be so difficult? I only want to password protect my internet browser! I can't be the only person in the world who wants to do this!
