Running xp pro sp2, single machine, no domain, & now need to enable a guest

account, but i really don't like how guest has access to so many of my

applications !!! Is there a way to restrict access to most but not all apps

???

Or is a dual boot the only way ??? Can this be done in Vista ???

 

thanks,

mike.

    Having access to an application (say Word, Excel etc) does not imply access

    to any files which that application may use.

    Why do you believe that you need a guest account?

    No need for guest account.

     

    Download Microsoft Windows SteadyState.

     

    Brief Description

    Windows® SteadyState™ is now available. (Windows SteadyState was formerly

    known as Microsoft® Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP.) Whether you

    manage computers in a school computer lab or an Internet café, a library, or

    even in your home, Windows SteadyState helps make it easy for you to keep

    your computers running the way you want them to, no matter who uses them.

    Windows SteadyState is easier to download, set up, use, and maintain than

    Shared Computer Toolkit.

     

    Windows SteadyState runs on genuine copies of Windows XP Professional,

    Windows XP Home Edition, and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. And, Windows

    SteadyState is offered at no charge to Windows Genuine Advantage customers!

     

    Make sure not to apply the rules on the admin account :)

     

    Hope the above helps.

    Thanks,

    Obaid.
