since most of the WIn XP experts are on spick's case, trying to get his probs off his titties <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" /> i'd like to ask the experts if they can get my problem off mine! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
how do u lock down your Win XP pc so that any 'guest' who uses your system can only say; browse the net, open certain applications, cannot install progies anywhere, & hide/disable cd drives? apart from hacking the registry?
start>settings>control panel>user accounts. Password protect your admin account and set up an account for Morbo or any other guest who might use your computer. I think that will take care of your needs.
edit: save any "secret" or important files on removeable media.
Gotta ask, though, are you running Home or Pro? I don't know about Home, but on Pro, as admin, you can right-click on any program or folder and set who can access the program/folder and how. Setings such as Full Control, Allow Read, Allow Write, etc. can be set on a per user basis. The only thing friends on my PC can do is play a select library of games. And if they ever want into my account, they need my thumbprint (I love my USB thumb scanner key <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />). Too bad I missed my chance to buy that iris recognition scanner <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
