Guest Account

Is there a way to restrict what programs a guest account has access to? I do not want the guest account to have access to my quicken program with all of my banking information. Please Help!!! Thank you!!!

To restrict access to files and folders in XP Home, you must be running NTFS
as your file system.

To enforce file and folder security, boot the computer in Safe Mode and log
in to the built-in Administrator account. Once there, open Windows
Explorer and locate the file/folder you wish to restrict. Right click and
select Properties. Go to the Security tab. Here you can add/remove Users
and Groups, and either grant access to the file/folder, or deny access to
it.
