I need to keep my son from playing GTA 5 on my PC, and I’m looking for a way to set up a password to prevent him from launching the game. Any suggestions on how to do that?
3 Answers
You could create a separate user account for your son on the PC. That way, he won’t have access to your account where the game is installed. It’s a simple way to keep things separate and avoid any password hassle.
You can’t really password-protect GTA 5 directly, but you could consider hiding it away. Just make sure to manage the PC settings so he doesn’t have admin access to reinstall it if he finds it.
What about hiding the game launcher or shortcut in a really obscure folder? Just make it so he has to dig for it! Not foolproof, but it might help for a while.
