hi, all, just one question, in activated guest account, or in user limited
account, if you go to internet explorer and in address you type C:, or My
Computer, or Control Panel, everything is opening up, one's you there you can
browse trough the computer or you can execute installation of any program.
how can I stop this in win xp pro with multi user computer setup.
all I want to have is just internet browser without any other abilities.
thank you
John

You have to use the NT file system or else there is no security for your
C: drive.
