Stage 3: Disable regedit. I've already locked the bios and disabled CD/diskette bootup. I've checked msconfig, and he is using a modified .ini setting, has most of the startup programs disabled, changed at least 6 or 7 registry settings...I'm pretty sure most of the hacks are being done in the registry, I haven't had time to identify exactly where yet.

So it seems like he does not appreciate the roof over his head and the generosity and patience you have shown him. I'm of the opinion that he has overstayed his welcome.
You've set the rules and expectations, and he's continued to ignore them.
I'd say you give him ONE last chance. He's given all the opportunity to do what he needs to do which is check email and apply for jobs. Everything else is being disrespectful to what you've requested.
Next time it's discovered, kick him to the streets. While you may look like the asshole on it's face, he's not someone you want living in your house.
I'm wondering is he going through your papers and documents? Casing your valuables? Knowing where weaknesses are in getting back into your house?
Because that's what hackers do, at least from my experience of being one and my friends that are also hackers. I hack systems, not just computers, but whole systems of operations.
