CAN THIS BE DONE AND HOW

[barney5]

I have one node XP Pro.
One admin account.
One user account.
Four Possible Users on one user account.

I do not want any of the four possible users to do malicious things like, command prompt, run command, admin tools, system tools, or even mess with the antivirus program, and my software tools in the admin account.

Would a utility like tweakxp-pro help to do this.

I know these users
They will if they can!!!!

Thanks for your help.

I would suggest making a separate account for each user, that way you can adjust the permissions for each user separately. You can limit their ability to do anything but surf the web or check email if you so desire.
"Another way to customize your computer is by using Group Policy. In a network domain environment, administrators use Group Policy to customize and configure computers on the network. In an environment where you have one stand-alone computer or several computers joined in a workgroup, you can still use Group Policy to customize your computer.

To open Group Policy

Click Start, and then click Run.
Type gpedit.msc and then click OK.
When Group Policy opens, you will see two options in Local Computer Policy: Computer Configuration and User Configuration. Computer Configuration allows you to set policies that apply to your computer, regardless of who logs on. User Configuration allows you to set policies that apply to each user who logs on to the computer."

Yeah I tried to tell the owner that but he is one of the users.
He will not log in without telling some one the password eventually.
Owners convenience is my obstacle.

All he does is outlook, browse, ms office. Therefore, he does not need to be an admin he is now just a user but run and cmd are still there.

Read thru this and see if this will help Public PC

This really explains why I have had such a hard time trying to manage this darn computer.

I will show this to the owner and tell him he is high.

I have used computers with Deep Freeze on them and you could not F them up.

I did not think this was that bad of a scenario. I now understand that this is what you would call a public access computer no matter how you look at it.

Stash: It seems that the description from your link would be more of what I understand Deep Freeze to be.

I will show the owner that his convenience will cost him more then it is worth to not have
different accounts.

I am going to test Public PC, Thanks Jiggz.

Thanks for all your help, people.

Hi, I think that if you will search for help on XP you will find that what you want is already present. It's called something like POLICIES. Luck, Jim
