Actually I would do what Vanguard suggested as well as put a password on the
user.
If you have set yourself up as an administrator ...put a password on that you
can take it off when you come back.
Also dont forget to put a password on the default administrator account.
Now write all those passwords down on a small pice of paper and put it in your
wallet.
This way no one can start your system but if they do know the CMOS battery thing
they still wont be able to enter XP ...not even in safe mode
