Help me outsmart my 3 year old

My 3 year old son has an iMac. I packed it full of stuff for him and kept it safe with a startup applet. The applet is something like:

repeat
tell app "Finder"
try
close windows 1 thru -1
on error
delay 5
end try
end tell
end repeat

That simple thing worked great until he figured out all he had to do was bring the script to the foreground and hit command period. Then all hell breaks loose.
It's so much fun for him that he goes over to his 2 year old brother's Umax and does the same thing. Is there a way to use that type of repeat loop or a stay open app which requires a password for command period?

Thanks,
Help dumb Dad
