kitamesume:
theres 4ways, [1]password protected screen saver [2]logout into the user selection with password(you`d notice music still plays even tho you switch, meaning background apps still are working) [3]install a wireless keyboard and bring the keyboard with you, dont forget to disable the onboard keyboard. [4] take the laptop with you.

create a guest account. password protect your own account. when you leave the laptop, make sure the guest account is logged in. the kid plays, your stuff is untouched, everybody wins!

good point, i don't know why the hell that didn't come into mind. he only plays his game in one chrome window anyway...

blubart:
can't you just password protect your own account without creating another one? that way she might try the off switch once - but if that only results in yet another login screen i doubt she would bother anymore.

alternatively you could - you know - just talk with her?
