I'd imagine that on a laptop you'd only have one hard drive (C drive) so if you don't allow her to access it at all then she's going to have a hard time doing anything on it.

If you don't want her to be able to install anything then you need to give her a restricted login. You can tick what you want her to be able to do when you set up the account.


If you really want to restrict the C: drive and it works the same as XP Pro then:


Double click "My Computer"
Right click "C:"
Select properties
Click on the security tab
Click on her login in the top box
Then in the bottom box restrict her access to the level you want it.

If not then I have no idea
