Guest PeePs Posted May 7, 2006 CID Share Posted May 7, 2006 Ok, so basically I want to make a log-on for Windows XP that would pretty much limit the programs that can be used to ones that i specifically choose. So like if I login I can us everything, but if my brother logs in under his login he will only be able to play games. So he won't be able to use internet explorer, AOL IM, view or change files, or install anything. I guess i kinda want it so that under his login its like one of the LAN video game places where you can only access the games. If your wondering why i want to do this, its because my brother always wants to play my computer while I'm not home, but I definately don't want him getting on the internet getting spyware all over my machine. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried that and i dont think there is a way for me to limit it enough. When i did that the other user could still use IE and install files and stuff.
