Hello again,

Is it possible to block certain hotmail accounts from signing in on your computer? I'm gonna get bitchy and block my brother from signing in on my computer with his emails, but I don't know how to block his account only. I can get the AV software to block Messenger totally, but not anything specific.

Thanks in advance

ooh , I thought you was talking about your email account , are you talking about him signing on to your COMPUTER or bugging you on messenger ? he can't sing on to your COMPUTER with a hotmail account.

Can you not just have one account which is your's and set a password on it that he doesn't know. And whenever you leave just press windows and L key to lock it.

yes. If you have a software firewall (bad example but Norton personal firewall) you block access whenever certain strings pass through (typically you would use this for your ssn, etc). Hotmail does not appear to be https so it should work.

You can use such a product and put his email address in it, password protect it so he cannot change its configuration.

You could also block hotmail by making a copy of your host file with hotmail.com looped back to your own pc. Use a batch file to swap to the original and the altered one out (assuming you care to visit hotmail)

just put a pw on your computer or screensaver so he cannot get on it at all.

That way he doesn't only stays away from your msn, but also from downloading crap.

How come you just dont set a password at start up if you're the admin, then he won't even see the welcome screen , problem solved. P.S. , I think you meant to say..To stop my brother from signing on WITH my computer , what is he doing ? trying to check his email ?

In a nutshell, my PC has been commandeered for the greater good of the family coz the other shitty one used for checking emails keeps getting broken by viruses from limewire.....IE, stuff he downloaded. He did the same on mine until I removed limewire from the Firewall pass list, and now I'm banning him from his MSN to prove a point. Oh, and coz my PC is being used by the rest of the family, I can't PW it on admin coz the parents are naff at computers......can't use it without a map

The only suggestion I can come up with is , that you and the rest of the family have the password to log onto the computer and he can only use it if there is a parent around untill he stops and learn his lesson on being stupid and selfish. you can take a look at this , don't know if it will help but take a peek http://ask-leo.com/how_do_i_block_msn_messenger.html scroll down to the comment section.

Couldn't you just ask him nicely to use his own PC?
