How to have visualisations password protected for windows

[Pate]

I'm looking to use my computer hooked up to a TV for a house party. I dislike the windows login screen for windows 7 and was wondering if there is anyway to have visualisations for winamp or whatever running but password protected to stop curious people wandering into my files.

Is there anyway to do this? Even better would be to allow people to use certain programs but not main access.

P.s something more secure than just creating a new user.

What's wrong with a new user? Set them as a normal user and lock the account down to certain programs only and they won't be able to get to your files either.

Can I allow access to any a few programs not windows as a whole?

You could just unplug the keyboard and mouse. Once you have a playlist lined up or whatever, you shouldn't need to mess with it. It's a party, no one will care about your PC.

Short term its no issue because I am there most of the time, but I don't want to appear like a begrudger not letting people use it when I am not there because I value my privacy.

If I could set it up so a secondary account would have internet access as well as maybe winamp and spotify, thatwould be great.

What method would you recommend? At the moment I store all my private files using Truecrypt in a protected file. Find it pretty slow though to be honest. Is there anyway to truecrypt my user account?

thanks
