Limiting "Guest acctount to IM only"

[Siamese]

Is it possible in XP Pro to limit the guest account to IM and Surfing only?
No downloading or installing of programs?
Thanks in Advance

The following info is from Microsoft Press. A guest account by definition
cannot download.

? Guest: Members of the Guests group are shown as guest accounts. Guest
accounts

have privileges similar to limited accounts. A user logged on with the Guest
account cannot create a password for the account.

Limited: Members of the Users group are classified as limited accounts. By
default,

limited accounts can:

--Change the password, picture, and associated .NET Passport for their own
user account

--Use programs that have been installed on the computer

--View permissions (if Simple File Sharing is disabled)

--Create, change, and delete files in their document folders

--View files in shared document folders
