I was about to say break their legs, which I actually did.

The guest account solution is probably best for this situation, good luck with that.

One time in college I let someone use my computer. He installed wc3 with a dead key and got me a temp ban from BNET. Never let anybody use my computer again....


That happened to me and 5 friends on a LAN!!! Damn we all played BW and Diablo 2 24/7 damn we were so pissed at this guy who thought he could play Diablo 2 with a cracked cd-key..

No battle.net at that LAN

it sounds like you dont have 100% trust for your roommates (or friends or w/e) and in that case letting them use your computer for anything more than like the occasional email check is a terrible idea.

Well, physical access + knowledge = pwned. BIOS password can be reset by taking out the little battery.

Just curious: is this issue that you don't want them to play CS, or that you don't want the game installed on your computer?

Either way, the best way is to have a guest account, where they can't install shit. There are still ways around it, but honestly, if they're THAT desperate that they HAVE to play when they're on someone else's computer and not their own, then they're probably beyond help anyway.

Friends are fine, but allowing password-less root access on your personal machine is generally a bad idea, period. This is especially true if you have any sort of sensitive personal information stored on your computer (credit card numbers, passwords to important accounts, etc.).
