Thanks all;

I have couple more options and some reading to do.

The next time I build a custom high end PC for someone I will be charging quite
a bit more, live and learn.

As someone said, I might be able to take "possesion" when in safe mode, if so,
problem solved.

My next question is, would doing this on a clone cause NTFS put a stop to it ?
This machine is NTFS, the guy said make it secure, now I'm having trouble
getting his stuff ! Problem is he let the kids use it.

I'll read those links, try a few more things and get back to you. Thanks again.
