Right now, it is impossible for me to have a toy of my own, since just about everything I have, my son wants to play with. That's especially true if there are games to be played. While I try to keep my new toy away from him, sometimes it is the better part of valor to occupy him with some game, if it is hex-a-hop or Angry Birds.

Problem is, twice I've come back and he's erased the desktop with all my games. Last time he also managed to shut down most of the desktops. It was bad enough that I had to restore from a backup.

So, how do I lock up these settings so that my son doesn't muck with them? It is really a pain in the butt when either I find stuff on the desktop that I don't want or even worse, when stuff disappears.
My now 18 month old son has loved phones and computers since he was 4-5 months old. I guess it was the bright screens.

He was already well versed in skype video calls by 9 months and understood what was going on when the skype calling sound was heard

I´ve had to compete with my son for my N900 the last 6 weeks, he´s learned to imitate my ways of navigating into the media player and to the videos of barking puppies that I saved on there for him...

It´s cute, but a little hard to be reading emails or news on the phone when he comes running and wants to see "woof, woof", helping himself to the phone.
