Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows any basic commands to create a script for one of my user accounts. I thought creating a Guest account would limit to the most basic components but apparently it maps out everything just doesn't let you install programs. I want to create a script for a user account that only has access to the most basic things and maybe my shared folder. Can someone help me out?

There is a way to do this in the registry if you are familiar with it. Maybe of use in this case. Click here to find out how to do this in the registry. computech911 For some more helpful XP tips visit: http://www3.sympatico.ca/computech911/Tips.html

These may help . The "Windows XP Security Console" - by Doug Knox, MVP http://www.legge40.freeserve.co.uk/Tips.htm#activepc "When you're outside of a domain environment, XP has some features missing. XP Home leaves you completely without the Group Policy Editor, while XP Pro lacks the ability to use the Group Policy Editor to selectively apply policies to specific users. Well, that's about to change. Doug's Windows XP Security Console allows you to assign various restrictions to specific users, whether you're running XP Pro or XP Home." - http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm ======================================= Restrict Users from Running Specific Applications http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/win_xp_logon.htm Start/Run/Regedit HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.Value Name: DisallowRun [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Policies\Explorer] Create a new DWORD value and name it "DisallowRun" set the value to "1" to enable application restrictions or "0" to allow all applications to run. Then create a new sub-key called [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun] and define the applications the are to be restricted. Creating a new string value for each application, named as consecutive numbers, and setting the value to the filename to be restriced (e.g. "regedit.exe").
