My GF and downloading software.

[Sockpuppet]

Knock up a little app that pops up whenever she uses the internet that tells her that Friends is on E4.


She'll be off to watch "The episode when... (insert banal episode details here) in no time at all.

You mean "The episode with...."

[NoddY]

What about a virtual machine?

[chubba]

Install linux on a laptop and give her that. Or a mac. Password protect all other PCs in the house. Job done.

How can I block my other half from downloading and installing software on my machine.

Every day I come home to find another f-cking software application sitting in memory. This time it's software for a f-cking calender - why she couldnt have knocked it up in Excel I don't know.

Anyone any ideas?

Get a new girlfriend?

[Flubster]

Unplug keyboard from the PC. She'll never suss it out...

You mean you have not set her up with a non-administrator account which does not allow the installation of software?
