Hello ppl

I urgently need a li'l help.

I want to create a guest account in WinXP such that the "guest" is NOT ABLE to access any of my local drives.
My windows drive is C:\, and I basicaly want the guest to just be able to use Internet explorer.

How do i do it? Is it possible or do i have to hide my CPU?

You can set the restrictions on the guest account using Security properties of the various partitions and setting the required ones to "Deny" access to the particular user account
