Can anyone teach me how to make password before boot to win me. Is it posible to do in autoexec.bat or config.sys

DEpending on your PC, hit "F8" or "Ctrl". Go into the BIOS and there is a screen / utility to set a boot up password. Just don't ever forget it, otherwise you'll be screwed.

There is a little proggy that I use called WinsecureIT. It seems to work rather well. You can find it at webattack. There is also another one calledSecureit Pro, but I haven't tried that one. Both are free.
