If you leave your password program running whenever you are away from the computer, the startup program on the disk won't activate.
Just remember to reboot your pc instead of shutting it down and you're fine

Disk have a higher boot priority, so if the drop down a disk drive, put in a disk with a startup file on it and ctrl+r bam they're booting off of the disk.

Its a delayer.If you leave your password program running whenever you are away from the computer, the startup program on the disk won't activate.

In that case, use the keydown events to grab their key input, test if they are holding the control button and if they press control, make the program send htem a message and then restart.
You might have to then take their keyboard input manually, but at least there's no way out of typing the password.

You cannot block or avoid Ctrl-R. The computer will reboot if that combination is held down for a certain time, period. Even if you eject the disk as soon as the Control key is pressed, all they have to do is shut it down instead, put the disk in the drive, and then turn the machine on. You can't get around it without making the sides inaccessible or editing the ROM.

Wrong, its hardcoded… It will shutdown no matter what.If you remap the ctrl-r event to something else and put it in a loop, it should get stuck on that loop and perform that code instead, just like how in real world computers you can override ctrl alt delete by making a program fire an event and process something when the keys are pressed.

Hrm, that is where CraftOS differs from real world operating systems. It would be handy if you could override them. I did read somewhere on the forums here once someone who said a way to do it through editing code files, but then it wouldn't be much use with a server unless you are the one hosting it.But remember ctrl+r is hard coded into CC.. Its part of the underlying java code. I don't think it will matter what you do in Lua. I wouldn't mind playing with code for this if someone has some already. PM me if you dont want to post it here.

I know what it's intended for, but then again real computers actually have a power source which the button cuts out.1: Don't double postHrm, that is where CraftOS differs from real world operating systems.

2: Real World Operating systems have a shutdown button.. On the computer. CTRL + S is like that button.
3: Boot Disks works, but you need to be a server owner.

Exactly, hence, the comparison to real computers is a difficult one.Yes, but Minecraft doesn't have power sources. Its simulating the power.

So tl;dr
Place Lockett signs around the computer so no one can break them.
Problem with that is, you can place a drive on the front and still boot from there. Call me wird but i really dont want a sign on my front.
Cant you rerout the startup to do something else when a boot disk is placed?

other sides of the computer have a higher priority for booting. if i remember correctly the left side has the highest just because of the checking order and left side it checks first and then the others i think. so if you just put you password on the left side in a disk drive and hide it you are proberly safe

I like this idea. Particularly steps 3 and 4.Do this:
1. Have a sneaky computer behind your good one, always using the peripheral API to turn on the computer you want.
2. Using the parallel API, have a function always checking for a disk, and then ejecting it when inserted.
3. ???
4. PROFIT!!!

Left? Where are you even getting that from? No, I already said that it's the top that it boots from first.

This is exactly what I was just thinking of. The password computer would auto-eject any disk put next to it. The hidden computer would instant restart the computer if it shuts down, so they won't have time to insert the disk while it's shut down. For added profit, have the password computer check the other one and restart that one when it shuts down, in case they try to get that one.Do this:

In the TARDIS at an unknown place in time.
Oh that's just so cruel! But I like it.Failing all the other stuff, hide some tnt nearby so that if someone does manage to get past security, they won't live to tell the tale.
