User Accounts Help!

[Incognito]

Lots of people use my computer, but non often enough to warrant them having
their own user account. I turned on the guest setting so they could use
that. However in the guest setting they can have access to all the
programmes on my computer, and can see all the folders in explorer. I would
like to be able to limit their access to office XP, mediaplayer, and the
internet (aswell as solitaire and hearts of course!). How can I do that?
When I try to delete anything from the start menu in the guest account it
says that removing anything will remove it from all users start menus
(therefore from my menu). How do I sort this out???

Thanks for your help guys.

Remove the items from the All Users account, and place what you want in =
your own account, and what you want them to have in the Guest account. =
(Cross posting removed.) Also go to your documents folder in My =
Computer or Explorer, right-click it and choose Sharing and Security, =
check the box next to Make this folder private.

This is (usually) in C:\Documents and Settings.
