My sister is moving in with me today and I expect she will be wanting to use my computer. However I don't want her on my documents, programs, games etc. I need to set up a seperate account just for her where i can choose what goes on it, like interent, and her games, etc. I've seen it done before but I dont know how to go about doing it w/o screwing something up. Can anybody help me on this?

first make sure you enable the view of hidden files then perform a search in your WINNT directory for files with an MSC extension i.e. *.msc then select lusrmgr.msc and ad a user you might want to ad your sisters account to the power user group or administrators ... what ever you want. then login with your sisters account and then relogin on to your own account and see your sisters, yours and the default user account in :: C:\Documents and Settings from there you can manage shared programmes for the start menu or desktop or just manage your own. You could also grand permisions to files or directorys by doing a right click and select the security tab ... there is more to it but it might help you out so far ... sucses ... ps. you might want to enable the classic login feature on xp home since there is more then one user Life is a waist of time

the lusrmgr.msc doesnt work on XP Home Edition it says to use User Accounts in the control panel. I did this and created a limited account for her but she can still use a lot of programs like kazaa, games, etc. Any way i can get rid of her access to these?

You could remove kazaa and games from the All Users directory in C:\Documents and Settings and move them to your own account. this wil prevent your sister from seeing kazaa and games in her start menu it is a simple task of cutting and pasting from the All Users directory to your directory, your directory might be the administrator or John Doe or maybe William i dont know but you should see the name in the directory with wich you login and so they will not be present in the general start menu or desktop. further more if win xp home supports this and you have an NTFS filesystem in use you could grand read, open and write permissions to directorys and files it is actually that simple ... also read some help files on file permision Life is a waist of time
