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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
