Change his account to limited - there is no reason you need to have more than one admin on a home computer. A limited account can do anything a user needs to do on a regular basis. But cant change your password, cant format the drive, cant screw around. If you cant trust him with that much access, then dont bother giving him any and set the BIOS lock. The BIOS lock kicks in before the computer even runs POST, so there isnt really any way past it without the password. Secure the case though, if you can get at the mobo you can clear the lock in 30 seconds.
