Depends on how smart your dad is...
Sure... here's an idea for you. After you install wolf, you will want to do the following:
Obviously you want to get make sure the start menu doesn't keep the short cuts to the game...throw that start menu group into the RTCW install folder, and just execute the shortcut from there in the future.
Zip compress the RTCW folder location that you installed to. This will result in a very large file. Rename the file to something like "pagefileb.sys" or some other equally creative name and shove it away in a place he generally doesn't go or in plane site depending on how well you named it. Some suggestions might be the %temp% directory for the given user or the Program Files\Common Files\ folder.
Delete off the same directory that you zipped.
As you add new map files etc just make new compression file and throw away the old one.
This will leave all the registry entries necessary for wolf to run, so long as when you decompress back to the same file path - no problems.
And additional step you may wish to look at is removing the uninstall option from the control panel. Depending on how wolf's package is made (I don't remember) the entry in the Control Panel may be useless to him without the files being at the correct path (some uninstallers store the uninstall information in a file on the disk that then gets referenced).
The old TweakUI program used to let you remove entries fromt he Add/Remove Program entries in the registry...some google searching will probably reveal where you need to go in the registry to drop it out. I would export the registry and save that file as well in the event that you ever did want to uninstall the program. When you do, you can merge that reg file back in.
And if all of this doesn't make sense....use it as an oppurtunity to learn.
