wondering if there is a way to require a password to even
use my computer at all so she wont even bother and wont be
able to access it...windows..etc.

My sympathies - BTDT!

You need to use the BIOS password option - see your manual for details.

OTOH, if the lawyers get involved, they may demand the PC anyhow - so back
up your data!
