rv31 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) So xp home seems to have very limited functions to restrict the guest account or restrict further a limited account.For example the guest account can still see all installed programs on the administraor account, this is a bit bizarre no?As far as i can see all the guest account on xp home does is prevent applications from beging installed unless you install as admin, how do i disable regedit, cmd, stop the installed apps on the admin account showing in the guest account, restrict access in the guest account to the root drive etc...??Just noticed that the guest account has access to the control panel and administrative tools as well!!Have i enable something on the admin account to allow this and i just don't know it??

AO3 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) MS had a free program that let you restrict users. If I remember the name I will post it. It could lock the hdd so any changes made were removed after a reboot. Restrict programs etc... It had an easy GUI.===== Post Nº2 =====Windows SteadyState.
