Hi all, I would appreciate some help on the matter regardng the ever so popular sharing application among our teenagers. Apparently my Mum's close friend's child has experience a sudden slow down on his PC. I find this diffiult to take as having worked with PCs for most of my life now and built a couple sudden slow down in PCs don't simply occur spontaneously. This kid has installed LimeWire twice before and I have had to re-install Windows three times (twice due to LimeWire and once because he downloaded some porn desktop shortcut application). I had informed him and his parents that I won't go through the tiresome process of re-installing Windows if he installs this application again and was wondering what ways can I track LimeWire down besides the Registry?

I would really appreciate some help on the question in hand as well as possible ways of preventing this from occuring again. I could make an Administrative account on Windows which he does not have access to which prevents him from installing applications?

Thanks again, Pikkon.
 
Thanks everyone I really appreciate the help. The idea of finding whether he has installed it is important to me as I want to show his parents that he continues to disobey my guidelines numerous times. I believe I will have to make it so that he won't be able to install anything at all. If his parents are compliant with that only then will I fix it.

Some kids believe they know everything about computers which is kind of annoying as they don't have to sit down and re-install Windows.

Thanks again everyone for your kind help.
