[i]That seems sort of silly since he has the .NET runtime installed on ME. You'd think there'd be a way to get it to run. :/ [/B]

Actaully not silly at all. The .Net framework requires an active compiler and parser service running at all times, as well as active debugging availible from the OS. NT has always had these and 2000 marks their entrance into consumer grade machines. The .Net runtime can be used in conjunction with aspx for developing web-based programs and scripts, but not C++ without Visual studio, which can't find the services in ME.
Perhaps you can Dual boot the machine into 2000 formated with fat32 (so me can see and write it) and boot strap it to start ME unless f8 is pressed, invoking the boot menu. That would make the issue transparent to the parents.
