    Post Restricting User's

    My girlfriend wants her computer at her house to be set up so that when the nephews come over she can do a switch and the only things that are on "The Kids" screen are games.

    I created a new account as a limited account. How do I go about choosing what they can click on and not?

    Thanks in advance.

    Add the specific Icons that you want to allow them to their desktop. In addition, in the Admin Tools, you can use local security policy to further restrict things.

    It is XP Home.

    I am good with adding icons to a desktop. Should I just hide the toolbar so they can't access the start menu???

    Pretty new to this

    TIA
