My grandchildren will be visiting and using my computer. I want to limit
their access to a few programs. How can I do this? Will setting up a separate User do it? |

Set them up as a limited user. if theres any specific programs you dont want them to have access to just delete the program shortcuts from their account. -- Best Wishes from Martin So many questions, so few answers. |

Just to clarify..
When you are in the limited user accounts, the shortcuts used to start the program are specific to that Limited Account. Therefore, deleting the shortcuts will not remove the shortcuts on your regular login. I'm sure that may of been obvious but I thought I would throw that in anyway. "Martin" wrote in message ...
