Hello all :)

I would like to create another user account on my PC for friends, relatives etc. to use.

However I want this account to be extremely restricted.

They must NOT be able to:

1. Install or delete programs (no access to add-remove dialog)
2. View my files (Administrator)
3. Mess about with any folders/files on the computer using Windows Explorer (add, delete etc.)

But Im confused as to how to go about it. The Guest account is currently not activated. Should I just activate that or should I create a new "Limited" user account :rolleyes:

Which is the more restrictive account? - Guest or Limited?

Any other tips on securing the computer with under a different login would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much :)

Thanx M0KUJ1N. I will just activate the Guest account then :)

Just one more question - is it easy to "delete" this account if I wanted to? Like is it easy to get rid of all the folders the Guest account will create? (under C:\Documents and Settings\Guest).

Thanx :)
