    i have created a guest account on my winXP home ed pc.
    I have an admin account and on the other account i dont want a user to access the control panel.

    How can I do this?

    Also if i cant do this how can i stop folders from being acessed and programs from running in the other account.

    I could access the control panel in a non-admin account and change folder options to view hiddne files and folders which i didnt want to do
