dt98smd Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 hi. i run my WinXP Pro at a university and sometimes my friends need to use my computer. I don't want them to log in on my account (Admin) so I have been using the guest account. But the guest account doesn't give me enough security (ie. I want to be able to turn off ceratin things such as access to ceratin folders and the inability to edit ANY of the settings). Is there a way I could run an account that acts like the guest account (ie no login / password etc) with the features of a limited account? Anyone got any good ideas or reccomendations?? look forward to hearing from you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
