With curiosity like that it sounds like he will be very gifted with 
computers!  :)

A locked cabinet would probably work better than window alarms. Children 
that age cannot easily learn the art of lock picking. By the time he 
reaches an age where he can learn to pick locks via guides on the 
Internet, you should be able to trust him enough to nurture that 
curiosity by allowing him supervised access, and the locks will become 
irrelevant.
