WinXp guest account?


HI,

When setting up a guest account in windows xp, how do you limit the programs available to the user? I tried setting up an account, but when I did it had all of my programs and financial programs available to the guest. I would like to just set up a basic account of some kind for the user.

Thanks

set it to not allow access to your whole hd then put all the programs they can use in one folder that they can read(and write if you want to), and paste a shortcut on the desktop

to change allowences, go to folder or hdd properties, and the security tab, and it list all users there(or you may need to add specific users to change their properties
