My son reminds me, it's time to secure my XBL account

My children are smart, they've known how to turn my Xbox on for themselves for a while. My daughter doesn't usually bother any more since she'd rather play games with daddy than try to do it herself but my son, at age 1, loves him some Rock Band 2 and has no qualms against trying to get his fix for himself.

Since I have my Xbox automatically sign in to my live profile and sign into windows live messenger it's starting to become a common occurrence to get kicked off line in Trillian and have to log back in. Kind of a handy way to tell if the kids are playing around with the Xbox while I'm at work. Today though my son has put me on notice that I need to lock the account or just take the MU with the profile on it to work in the morning as he managed to grab the controller, turn on my Xbox, browse to the marketplace and RENT wall-e with the last couple of hundred points on my account. Not only that but he would have had to select the SD version since my hard drive lacks the space to download the HD version of the movie at the moment.

I'm proud of my son, I really am :) Now I've got to figure out how I want to secure my profile. I'll probably just copy all the game saves on my MU back to the hard drive and leave the profile on the MU then pull it when I'm not home. That'll keep this from happening again.
