Bascially I was asked to reinstall a computer, because another user treat the machine as their own and trashed the software installed on it to the extent it needed reinstalling.

So I decided to create three acounts: Mine, Computer owner, and the "user" shall we call him.

Obviously mine and computer owner accounts are administrators, password protected. I set the "user" to a limited account.

But I really want to button up his account, so all he can do is use the internet, MSN - if he wants software installing, it is done under the computer owner's account or my own.

I'm not too familiar with restricting user accounts. So some guides/links would be much appreciated. Alongside with some personal experience, if possible.

Thanks!
 
Thought there might be some sort of software where you just select a user, lockdown their account as felt fit, and job's done. :(
 
In all honesty, I'm not even sure where to start looking in Gpedit. :o

Any pointers, or just toy around?
