I'm kinda new to XP (a few days now), but I need to set a restricted account up for the babysitter. I've guessed that you activated the Guest account but I'm having trouble setting permissions (as in I can't find the correct panel).

Should I let her use the Guest account, or should I set up another user account? I'd like to limit the access to only using IE to surf the web (I really don't care what she looks at), I DO want to prevent her from diggin' around in the nooks and crannys of old files, etc. Also, I don't want her to be able to install any programs (MSM chat for example, while it may be entertaining to read the chat logs...I have it disabled).

So, any easy to use suggestions of how to limit the babysitters access to this box (aside from turning it off and not leaving the password!).

Thanks! (& that was WinXP Pro).

Cheers -
