disturbed Posted December 28, 2006 CID Share Posted December 28, 2006 .....okay.....how would I set up a windows xp guest login in such a way: - whenever a person logs out, everything is deleted - all the files they saved and so on ( all except one default folder I set in the beginning as administrator ), all the settings are reset to default ( desktop setup, file position on desktop and so on....you get the idea ), a user also cant install any programs other then what is already installed...... you get the idea....its kinda like the setup that most schools have for students, where everything is deleted/reset each time a user logs out My guess is that ... without some heavy tweaking, this cannot be done solely through windows xp - perhaps I need some 3rd party software ? .... Give me some ideas if you have any Id really appreciate it Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/17004-how-to-set-up-computer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted December 29, 2006 CID Share Posted December 29, 2006 as far as i know that can not be done in xp. your going to have to wait till vista (i'm pretty sure this is still in there.) or get a mac.

Swimmer Posted December 29, 2006 CID Share Posted December 29, 2006 You can do this.. It is going to require creating a new user and assigning it to the guest/limited group. The way that schools do it most of the time is through profile management and or they run a clean up script on log out. Either way will work.. Sadly I do not have a Windows XP box with me.. I am about 95% sure that everything can be done on a standard windows xp pro machine.
