Unplug the mouse and take it out with you?

A low-tech solution would be to unplug it and hide the power supply cable (assuming this is detachable).

click start, control panel, user accounts - then add a password, something you'll remember but he won't know

Make sure you put classic logon....otherwise it logs you straight in...

that is take the tick out of the 'Welcome Screen' box - this goes back to classic logon where you have to enter your name and password...
